Reflection Tiago Borges about Mind Mapping Challenge The challenge chosen was around and Onboarding process in an IT Company . The idea was apply the design thinking tools to understand how the process happened and improve the processes using the tools . Mind mapping is a great tool inside the Design thinking and was used to understand the gaps that the process had and how was the things that could be improved . The case is that when an It company hired new employees to work as analysts for different customers , there was no an onboarding process . That process was done thought the project culture , generating a lot of none equalizes in the answers to the end users . Selection I chose the mind mapping because we have n’t sure about the process like happened that moment and We would need to understand how was the things that could be improved . Using the ideas learned at the course , I started the exercise with 10 employees , mapping the process like happened . After this , we had more 2 phases , to get the pain points and the improvement ideas . In the end of the exercise , we used the periodization matrix to choice the best improvement ideas . Application The application happened using one session , with 10 employees of the company , working as managers ( different level ) . We had 3 hours to run the 3 phases of the exercise , covering the process , pain point and improvement ideas . In the end of the processes , we had 15 steps of the process like was running , 23 pain points and 15 improvement ideas . We chose 11 ideas as measure ideas to apply in the process . Analyzing this numbers , I believe that the process was a success , effective . Insight When the exercise started , I think that all participants do n’t know about the simulation , the exercise and about the ways that Design Thinking can improve the process . I had to show how the things would work . The presentation of Design Thinking changed the mind of the participants and I believe that . As a result , we could experiment an hard difference in the process using the new way , created using Design Thinking . Now , we have an IT onboarding process to the new joiners . Approach I applied the tool selected , using prioritization matrix as an support tool , to help us to decided how was the ideas that we would like to choose . We used effectively the Mind Mapping .

Reflection - Learning Launch Challenge We are all living in a global world with millions of products but still we must deal with the scarcity of time and budget . Especially in the design industry , the products are nearly same however there is large scale of pricing . In addition , because of the limited time , we are likely to consume the best option we come across between few alternatives . However , the marketplace is huge and there are many other products that maximizes our satisfaction in terms of design , quality , and price but we are n’t aware of them . To solve this problem , me and my colleagues , had the idea of creating an application that the users will take the picture of the product that they like and the application will provide the worldwide similar alternatives according to the picture they uploaded . The main challenge for us is , there are giant platforms like Amazon , Alibaba etc . that provides large scale of products . Therefore , the main question is : “ Are these platforms and filtering systems while searching for a product sufficient in these platforms , or they are not ? Is there need of a platform consists our idea , or not ? ” Selection The tool that I selected for this challenge is learning launch . Since we have limited budget and time , we should do low - costed experiments that will give response quickly . In this tool , our main goal is to “ learn ” if our idea will work or not , by getting feedbacks from the public . By using learning launch , we will reduce the risk of experiencing big failures at the end . We will have the opportunity to test our idea and be able to take accurate actions . Application For making rational experiments firstly , we determined our potential customers . Our main goal is to attract the people who already uses online shopping . According to Eurostat ’s data , the biggest share of online shopping belongs to the population aged between 16 and 24 . However while making our surveys we considered that due to Covid-19 outbreak , the number of higher aged e - shoppers will increase . After determining our potential customers , we designed a survey for them . In the survey we asked questions like “ Before buying a product would you like to see other similar products ? If yes , how many products will be enough ? Did you experienced regret , after buying a product because of you missed another alternative ? If yes , how frequent it happens ? ” . Lastly , we designed a small prototype of our idea . We wanted from our participants to share the last cloth they bought with us . After , we provide them 5 more similar alternatives and asked , “ Do you want to replace your cloth with one of our alternatives ? ” Insight After bringing the learning launch to life , we find out how consumption habits change according to gender and age . In additions we had more accurate assumptions to the question of “ Will our idea work ? ” . Firstly , while both men and women wanted to see the other alternatives , men were satisfied when they saw less options than women . On the other hand , while most of the women who participated to the survey felt regret after they bought a product and saw its better alternative , most of the men declared that they did n’t felt any regret at all . In addition , no matter the gender X generation wanted to see more alternatives than Z generation . This result was not surprising for us however , it is significant . Even though the e - shoppers are mainly members of Z generation , people who most wanted to see the alternative products were the members of X generation . Therefore , our business model should include and prioritize generation X as well . Most significantly , more than half of the people who tried our prototype , declared that “ If they had a chance , they would replace their product with one of the alternatives we provided . ” Approach As a result , by using learning launch tool we gained many valuable information . Firstly , it helped us to determine our potential customers correctly from the very beginning . Secondly , it showed us that our idea may work however some of our assumption were incorrect . For example , participants were generally satisfied with seeing less alternatives than what we expected or generation X was our main potential buyers , but we were about to miss it . Learning launch tool , allowed us to step in the shoes of the customers . It taught us about their mindsets and their needs . It also lighted the path for reaching to them . Finally , if we had a chance to change the tool that we used , probably we would prefer to stay with learning launch . Since our idea is based on an idea in the future , for making it clear in the minds of our potential customers , making prototypes and surveys are the most efficient way of gaining information .

Reflection – VISUAioLSZAoISon Challenge & Uelection During my fnal year at university ( 2006 - 2014 ) , me and a team of fve fellow students did a research which delved into Brusselians ’ percepton ( Belgium ) of a certain small hospital in the capital . Over the course of fve years , the hospital had been slowly losing market share and wanted to fnd ways to make more revenue , while stll upholding their values of inclusivity and patent - centeredness . The management was convinced that their loss of market share was ted to the percepton that inhabitants of Brussels had of the hospital and so they asked our university to set up a research project to fnd out what that percepton was exactly and to come up with some ways to improve the hospital ’s percepton and consequently their revenue . None of the students in my team , including myself , had ever lived or studied in Brussels and none of us had ever been to or had ever even heard of the hospital in queston . We were all students in Business Communicaton and thus not very well - versed in the world of medicine or health care . That is why we needed to fnd a way for all of us to understand and communicate the research problem and come up with creatve ways to gather and present our data . We used the Visualizaton tool , the use of diverse types of imagery , during each step of the research process . This included maps of the city , demographical diagrams of Brussels ’ inhabitants and patents of the hospital , mind maps of the stakeholders , etc . opplication The frst applicaton of Visualizaton occurred when my team was frst introduced to the research project : we fabricated a large mind map with a detailed map of Brussels city in the center and the logo of the hospital in the place it resided . All around we wrote the names of all stakeholders , such as patents , inhabitants of Brussels , nurses , doctors , cleaning staf , press and local authorites . Using diferent paterns , we tried to make out who had most influence on the hospital ’s market share and in what way . We used that mind map to decide who to approach for our qualitatve research and how to approach them . Secondly , Visualizaton came into play during the qualitatve component of our research , where we held focus groups with patents and non - patents of the hospital . During those interviews , we gave partcipants paper and colored pencils and asked them to draw their “ ideal hospital rooma in the center of their sheet . Aferwards , we asked them to write on the lef fve words that influenced their experience in hospitals negatvely and on the right fve words that experienced it positvely . This collage was then a startng point for conversaton about how this compared to hospitals they had been to and what they could do to improve . The technique of Visualizaton proved way more efcient in generatng a multtude of answers than simply asking how their experiences had been and how they could have been beter . Lastly , when we had conducted our qualitatve and quanttatve research and analyzed the data , we needed to present it to the board of the hospital and some university professors . We opted for quite a lot of visualizatons on screen for two reasons . Brussels is a diverse and thus multlingual city and our presentaton was solely held in Dutch and most of our audience was not skilled in statstcs . Not only did we use diagrams to clarify our fndings , we also used images to show possible improvements to infrastructure and something as simple as using colors on the slides to show triggers versus obstacles for patents to choose this hospital . Snsight & opproach What I have learned using the design thinking tool of Visualizaton is that can be used in many diferent settngs for many diferent ends . In our case , we used it to 1 ) understand our research beter , 2 ) collect data more efciently and 3 ) communicate our fndings to people who are both well and not at all familiar with health care , qualitatve research or even Brussels . The Visualizaton technique helped us broaden our research horizon thus more area for solutons than the original research queston allowed . Instead of fnding out what the percepton of this hospital was , we got to know in a way more general , but at the same tme detailed sense , how patents experience hospitals and how that experience could be improved . This allowed us to come up with solutons to up the revenue that had nothing to do with percepton , but rather with infrastructure , communicaton and proximity . Another great design thinking tool that we could have used to present our data to the board of the hospital would be the Personas . From our data on existng patents and non - patents ( or as we might have called it not - yet - patents ) , we could have drawn diferent Personas representng inhabitants of Brussels , which include their socio - economic background , past experiences , motvatons for visitng a hospital , family context , etc . This way , the board could adjust or implement diferent changes to improve their infrastructure and communicaton to adapt it to a more diverse audience to really enforce their previously stated values of inclusivity and patent - centeredness .

Example Reflection – Storytelling Challenge & Selection : I am an aerospace engineering student and I decided to apply to be a member of the university rocketry team , in the propulsion sector . I rightly guessed that the first part of the selection process was a simulation , like those job interviews , in this one the candidates were randomly grouped and had to a create a new fictional team from scratch and participated in an also fictional competition , so I prepared myself studying not only about propulsion but also about the internal dynamics of the teams , competitions and possible problems . During this group dynamic , our fake rocket broke and we had to arrenge funds by convencing unknown sponsors of why to invest the quantity we needed to fix it in our team . While we were planning what to say , the whole group only considered that explaining our issues in a logical and direct way , since we expected all of them to be as rocketry enthusiasts as we are . We could n’t be wronger . Our very first possible sponsor had absolutely no knowledge about rockets or rocketry teams , he was a simple man with a very proeminent fortune due to his bakery chain conquered throughtout his life and wanted to return it to the society by helping finnancially any team of the event , and he could not look more bored , by talking to him to gain time to develop a new strategy I realized how much valued effort towards dream chasing , so I decided storytelling , it humanized our argument and brought the closest point of view his background could provide , it was the best way to convince him to sponsor us . Application During our conversation he told us about his grandfather , his core inspiration who teached him how to bake , and how he knew since his childhood he would be a baker even when he and his family could barely afford food , so I told him about the brilliant Mae Jemison , the first ever black woman to go to space , about how she knew since her childhood she wanted to study hard to become an astronaut , how Tenente Uhura from Star Trek inspired her and how she proved all the probabilities against her wrong , just like him when he just not overcame poverty as also helped several of his employees to have a better life . Then I said each of our team members were on the way of chasing our dreams , and how his sponsorship would help our trajectory since the competitions were not just an way to practice all the things we were learning but also to be able to get a good networking to improve emotional intelligence , to work under high pression , to believe in our potential and another plenty of tools who will help us to achieve our life goals . Insight & Approach By the end of the conversation we were no longer the potentialy snob scientists talking about things he did not understand who just wanted his money . We were equals to the juvenile him , chasing his dreams , forging ahead his way to the top . Our “ boring ” thechnical talk which distanced him from us gave space to a passionated conversation about the conquer of life goals and learning through the journey . We got the sponsorship . For more that it all was just a symulation , storytelling approached us to our sponsor , things no longer were simply about money , it was about impacting people ’s life , and it made all the difference . I just wish I had discussed about it previously with my team , while we planning our approach to the sponsors , since it was a group project with no formal leader established we all should be aware of all strategies , but we got into this trick bias we did not thought about enough hypotesis while were planning how to approach the sponsors and I had to improvise it . If I was n’t doing this course during the same period it would highly probably ended up with a totally different outcome .

We were equals to the juvenile him , chasing his dreams , forging ahead his way to the top . Our “ boring ” thechnical talk which distanced him from us gave space to a passionated conversation about the conquer of life goals and learning through the journey . We got the sponsorship . For more that it all was just a symulation , storytelling approached us to our sponsor , things no longer were simply about money , it was about impacting people ’s life , and it made all the difference . I just wish I had discussed about it previously with my team , while we planning our approach to the sponsors , since it was a group project with no formal leader established we all should be aware of all strategies , but we got into this trick bias we did not thought about enough hypotesis while were planning how to approach the sponsors and I had to improvise it . If I was n’t doing this course during the same period it would highly probably ended up with a totally different outcome . ### Output:

Example Reflection – Learning Launch 1 . Challenge I am a member of the admissions team in my Institute and the challenge encountered by us is to improve the interest of prospective students and convert them into paid registrations and then on to making them the students of the course offered by us . For this we need to run the right digital marketing campaigns as well as conduct offline events to generate interest . The admissions team comprise of 5 employees . This project from the start of the campaign to the outcome ie conversion as students should not exceed 90 days . The workflow of this process would be analysed to uncover the problems and to carry out improvements on the same . 2 . Selection The team has discussed different design thinking tools to be used for this purpose . Finally the learning launch was zeroed in as the tool to work with . This tool enables to test an idea and its prototype on a smaller scale before a full scale launch . 3 . Application The initial focus on the learning launch was the efficient start to the digital marketing campaign . To effectively focus on this task , a 1 day training program was conducted . Based on this program , a workflow document with clear cut measurables and responsibilities was drawn . A Quiz was administered to the team members to test the understanding of the new workflow processes along with the prioritization of the tasks at hand . 4 . Insight The learning from this activity was that the whole approach was outcome focused rather than process improvement of any kind which could automatically improve the outcomes . The other insight that was gained was that the admission team was slow to respond to queries from the prospects and that an agile approach was required . This approach called for a redesign of tasks and a relook at the priorities . These insights would be incorporated into future design launch and also before a full scale launch for student admission process . 5 . Approach The learning launch provides a launch pad to correct design flaws before launching a full scale rollout . It provides the ground for testing the effectiveness and efficiency of workflows at an initial level before going all out . It improves the process flows contributing to better outcomes during a full rollout ..

Challenge : In addition to my full - time job , I volunteer for not - for - profit social enterprise called JAIPUR FOOT . The biggest challenge such noble initiatives face is to consistently inspire people to contribute their hard - earned money for a social cause and in people they do n’t personally know . Unfortunately , the common belief is that philanthropy is a responsibility of very rich people only . Selection : I opted for “ Storytelling ” ( course reference https://www.coursera.org/learn/uva- darden - design - thinking - innovation / lecture / PAXCd / storytelling - tool ) as a tool to move people towards this social cause . Given the challenge I mentioned above , it was important that our audience understand the actual situation of a person in need and impact their small contribution can have . Storytelling has the power create a connect between people and their environment . In addition to creating a sense of empathy , we wanted to tell them that solutions exist . Application : To begin with , we shared the meaning of organization ’s name , JAIPUR FOOT . The name draws inspiration from India 's struggle for independence . We emphasized that a similar movement with the same kind of urgency is required to address poverty in India . It ’s no secret that our society loves underdog stories . While our borrowers did n’t technically became rich suddenly , the quality of their lives improved dramatically . We therefore shared multiple short stories on how our rural borrowers used the funds and how it elevated the lives for entire family . In some cases , they were able to fund education of their kids using the income that got created as a by - product - which would n’t have been possible otherwise . Additionally , to get people involved with minimum barrier , we decided to keep the loan amount as low as INR 100 , which less than USD 2 . This way , we let people experience the joy of lighting up another ’s candle – which also made them realize that you do n’t ’ have to very rich to create a positive change in someone else ’s life . Insight : The generated funds are used by them to start a business , grow their craft , light up their homes of bring water to their farms . The fact that all the borrowers were repaying the loan in the past gave confidence to a lot of audience members . They realized that their small contribution can create a never ending cycle of shared happiness . I also realized that when you tell a story with passion and in an authentic way , the audience resonate with that feeling . Of course , it ’s not easy . If your story for a social - cause is n’t real and does n’t involve deep understanding of how human emotions work and psychology – you ’ll struggle to move your audience . Approach : In terms of what we could have done differently – I definitely plan to choose video interviews of the borrowers to establish a more emotional connection . This also came as a feedback from some of the audience members during both online and offline reach outs .

Challenge & Selection Our team provide self - access language learning services to all students in our university , mainly in the form of 30 - minute one - to - one consultations , and 1 - hour workshops . All services are booked through an online system and normally happen on campus in a learning common building . Due to the pandemic , we have moved all of these services online through Zoom and since then , our numbers have dropped significantly . We had to find out the reasons for the drop in numbers and try to get them back up . While our team has employed all four tools in the process of trying to solve this unknown problem , I believe mind mapping has played the largest role in our journey of uncovering and targeting unarticulated needs . During meetings with team members , leaders and users , we have used mind mapping to gather insights , and then found patterns from the sea of ideas and reflections . This was paramount to the problem solving process by helping us shift our discussion from what is to what if . Application First , we used the software Notion to create a series of cards with the various concerns and observations from our team members during a meeting . As we were working remotely , this was a good replacement of sticky notes and whiteboards , as we could later drag and drop these cards into different columns of categories . Starting with concerns and observations allow us to first look at the issue from a personal way – we were essentially interviewing each other . Through this first step , we have generated more than 30 cards containing our own reflections and accounts . They covered problems such as • Lowered booking rates , • Lowered accountability on the students ’ side ( meaning they would be absent from bookings ) , • Students being very assignment - oriented rather than aiming at long term learning , • A shift in our main customer group from the large undergraduate population to the smaller postgraduate population . From these observations , we tried to generate possible reasons through grouping these cards together under one heading , mainly decreased student motivation in a general sense and a lack of effective advertisement opportunity now that we can not use posters and class visit in an empty university campus . With these insights from the team , we have also interviewed a group of students informally , and they cited intense coursework and a lack of study space in their own homes being the major factors discouraging them from using our services , as Hong Kong homes are often small and lack personal space for interactive activities . This helped us realise that undergraduates are overwhelmed both by academic workload and their lack of balance and space in their lives during COVID19 . In fact , it was more of a workload and emotional burden issue rather than being a marketing and advertisement issue . Postgraduates were not as affected as they did not have too much coursework in general , and are usually more independent in both thinking and lifestyle ( many of them have private space of their own ) . Insight & Approach As a result , we advertised from a different perspective – we encouraged students to come to us in the early stage of an assignment . Rather than helping them with the end product , we are telling them to come get help with thinking , study skills , and critical reading , which requires less work on their side , but create even greater impact on the product ( their coursework ) through a nurturing environment that engages them in the more formative stages of learning . We also loosened our rule with turning on the camera , or even using the microphone . We encouraged students to voice out in the most convenient and comfortable way possible , which could be typing in the chat box , or sending us emails , instead of mandating a video conversation while their parents or siblings are also in the same space learning and working . We also put a lot of our learning and teaching materials online so as to allow more flexible , asynchronous learning . Ideally , in the future , we could survey and interview a larger group of students to figure out the problem with more of their input , but I think mind mapping with our team was a great starting point for thinking about the issue in a more in - depth way . Perhaps keeping these questions about learning style and stress in our usually year end focus groups would be a good way of continuously assessing this problem if the pandemic persists , or if we are hit by another event that leads to the campus shutting down .

Mind mapping : The key role in Design Thinking Process Mind mapping is used to represent how ideas or other items are linked to a central idea and to each other . Mind maps are used to generate , visualize , structure and classify ideas to look for patterns and insights that provide key design criteria . Challenge : Mind mapping is one of the most powerful tools in the design thinker 's toolbox . It 's used to look for patterns , it 's used to look for insights , that lead to more creative solutions to your design challenge . Selection : In the first phase of design thinking process , we take a look at the current reality . At what is . In doing so , we amass a huge amount of data . Before moving to the next phase , what if , we need to distill all that data into information and insights that can be easily communicated . This is just what mind mapping does well . At Darton , we use mind mapping with executives , students , steel - makers , educators , retailers , those are not - for - profit firms , government agencies , consumer package goods companies , and all will attest to its power . Application : Mind mapping is looking for patterns and insights in a large quantity of data you collected during your exploration of what is the current reality . The goal is to establish criteria for the what - if idea generation phase . This phase is pivotal in the design thinking process . Mind mapping provides a segway from what is to what if . Mind mapping is an engaging alternative to that giant report we might otherwise have written to sum up and communicate in prose and charts and spreadsheets . Mind mapping is more intuitive . It 's more creative . It 's more visual , and it 's more engaging . David Kelley , the founder of IDEO said , when I want to do something analytical , I make a list . When I 'm trying to do something creative , I make a mind - map . That said , let 's be clear what we do n't mean by mind - mapping and the design - thinking process . In design thinking we use the mind mapping process to capture and represent the minds of our customers . That 's minds , minds , of our customers . We involve our colleagues in order to develop a common mind among them regarding the current reality of a design challenge . Through mind mapping , we extract meaning from data in a way that lets patterns and insights emerge . Patterns and insights we might otherwise have missed , as we sorted piecemeal through the data , to generate that report I mentioned . But the design thinking process of generating the map , deliberately involves many stakeholders . Insight : By the way , Mind Mapping is a great way to align the organization around a common understanding of the current reality . This can be a big help as you move forward in the design process . Equip each gallery - goer with a clipboard , a bold marker , and a bunch of medium - sized sticky notes . Ask them to browse through the gallery on their own , with or without talking to one another . Ask them to pick out the good stuff . That is , ask them to note on separate sticky notes any item they believe might inform new ideas . Now be sure you 've reminded them of the design challenge so they have that mind as they browse . Ask them to take note of what fits , as well as what does n't fit . Sometimes the good stuff is what appears to be an outlier . Approach : An insight statement is more than just a word . Your participants have made observations . Now they must turn those observations into insights . They need to uncover what 's implied by the observations . A good way to get this started is to ask , so what ? You might need to ask , so what several times . continue until meaningful insight statements emerge . Once you have your design criteria in hand , you 'll be ready to move on to thinking about possible solutions to your design challenge . Design criteria are the foundation of What if ? Your team will have agreement regarding how to decide if a solution is good , but you wo n't have a solution in mind In What if , you 'll focus on possibilities . I hope you can see how critical mind mapping is to the design thinking process . And how it can unleash creativity and intuition , that will serve you well throughout the rest of the process . And mind mapping can be a lot of fun

The tool that I used was the storytelling . This has allowed us to focus all the same objective . This tool is very useful for the development of new tools Application : we interviewed the users to understand what is most needed , by asking qualifying questions on which was their current difficulties and their expectations for the future . Then in more groups we tried to give form and life to the new tool taking account of the collected info and ideas that they have generated us . Approach . The approach was that of a student who tries to learn from all feedback which are data . Working group then thanks the comparison is able to capture the best from every idea .

URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student. STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address. ### Input: The tool that I used was the storytelling . This has allowed us to focus all the same objective . This tool is very useful for the development of new tools Application : we interviewed the users to understand what is most needed , by asking qualifying questions on which was their current difficulties and their expectations for the future . Then in more groups we tried to give form and life to the new tool taking account of the collected info and ideas that they have generated us . Approach . The approach was that of a student who tries to learn from all feedback which are data . Working group then thanks the comparison is able to capture the best from every idea . ### Output:

Reflection Learning Launch  Challenge I am working in Regional Support Team in Insurance sector and my / our challenge is to improve the Escalations and Queries for the department in order to increase our customer and sales satisfaction . The project scope includes the Head of department and a team of 14 people . The project has to be done within the team and depending on the resolution the budget will be sent for approval . The timeline for the project is 2 months for the design phase and the implementation phase timeline will be decided later . We will focus on trying to figure out what are the things that our team members and stakeholders feel is not feasible .  Selection Our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools , so we are ready to try the learning launch tool . Broadly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly test an idea and prototype .  Application To begin with , we focussed on the structure of the project . For our first learning launch , priority was given to the execution of our Escalation and query matrix . We wanted to structure our tasks , projects , and processes to adapt the methods of Scrum project management for our work in an effort to become more agile . This was to test our assumption that non availability of detailed step by step approach to queries was the main causes of our challenge and hence the escalations . We took a number of steps to analysis this better like workshops and training . Workshop was done for a week with batches of 7 each and training was done for 3 days – 5 hours per day . We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new , more agile processes / workflow . For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our tasks and priorities . This tested our assumption that inability to utilize simple technology like emails , google forms , chatbot efficiently was another challenge . Our team completed an anonymous survey . Additionally , five key stakeholders from the department and IT department also completed an anonymous survey . The surveys included questions about our new , proposed process , understanding the process and the prioritization of tasks .  Insight By applying the learning launch tool , we identified our assumptions and designed launches to test these assumptions . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find that a more agile approach would improve our workflow , and that both our team and the key stakeholders would be fairly open to the recommended changes in the structure and sub tasks of the projects . As next steps , our team will review this insight and incorporate it into future launch designs . The ongoing incorporation of insight is particularly important at this stage , as launches come before a full rollout in the design thinking timeline .  Approach As mentioned earlier as well , our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools and are at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the appropriate tool . As previously mentioned , we need to review the insight that we have received from our first two launches and incorporate this insight into future launch designs . Future launch designs should reflect insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full rollout .

Reflection – Visualization & Storytelling Challenge & Selection Visualization and Storytelling is a tool that I used to use all the time in my head actually , instead of implementing it in my surrounding world out there until I was able to recognize its true importance after learning from the examples in this course . I was doing an internship , and as an intern there , I have observed some of my colleagues I worked with were vulnerable , besides they were so capable , skilled and talented but were unsuccessful in showing that side of themselves to others , thus they were always excluded from taking into consideration due to inequity . Many of these people deal with oppression , injustice , and insults , they actually need empowerment and inspiration to move on and highlight themselves and benefit with what they can contribute actually . I honestly believe spending time in “ opening people up ” and finding ways to inspire them to improve their circumstances wherever they are . I share stories of my life and let them visualize it in order to help them visualize a state of independence , I use their response to my story to ascertain their goals , and sometimes to use stories to better understand their interests and thought processes . I use this information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to gain more freedom in the areas they find themselves lacking in their lives . So I picked 2 fellow colleagues of mine ( obviously picked or selected them in my mind without them knowing ) . Application I have a story about using storytelling and visualization in order to achieve success that is directly proportional to the success of others . I have begun with a small initiative or step . I let my colleague / teammate visualize a state of independence after I told her my story , that to survive in the inequity and environment where you feel excluded , you have to keep doing your best , so that your work speaks for itself even if they do n’t take you into consideration let your work do the justice . I was in the evaluation session with panel including the managing director , team leads and managers , where I gathered the courage to tell them the story and help them visualize with the help of visuals on the white board where I explained the story by taking an example and that example is relating to the situation I was thinking to solve . I tried explaining them the benefits to the organization after using the “ EMPLOYEE - FOCUSED - APPROACH ” . Such approach in a workplace is one in which all individuals , programs , processes , and systems are focused on helping employees become fully successful . Individuals who feel valued will provide excellent products and service , which will result in the achievement of organizational goals at the end of the day . So it ’s a win - win situation , if you benefit an employee , it will multiply the benefit actually . I also explained how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can impact everyone for the better , even if it seems extreme or out of the ordinary . So best results only come when each and every team member is progressing and growing , so I explained the importance of helping the one lacking behind , and inspiring them to join us to the same progressed level . Insight & Approach That was my first courageous experience . I always believe in compassion and empathy , and that I used in my approach too , I told my teammate that to make her mark in the company she needs to be confident in herself , her skills and work . Help her understand that it ’s okay if she lacks in any skill , learning has no age or defined period , and it ’s always the perfect time to learn when you realize you need to learn . When I convinced her that it ’s okay to be neglected and excluded , your time will come , like I struggled to make my mark here , so can she . I asked my senior heads to weekly arrange beneficial e - learning sessions and trainings from the experts within the company which are open to all and everyone ( from junior to senior level ) can join / attend and are welcomed . Because everyone is more than welcome to learn what they do n’t know and want to learn so that way she does n’t feel targeted or inferior and can easily attend the sessions . This worked really well . She really needed compassion and listening ear for that brief time to share her story , and she ended up with a true support . She was so motivated then to practice all she was learning and I want them to pick her instead of me so that she can feel empowered . The examples of the tools in this course made me see these story - telling and visualization tool in a new way . I 've used it as an ad hoc tool , but now I ’m learning to prepare ahead in my career and assist me in presenting my ideas and best illustrate them better . I have a tech background , but I ended up as a managerial level compassionate work more than my field related work . I had no idea this would ever be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is actually !

Reflection - Learning Launch Challenge I am a team lead of my creative team , our challenge is to improve the workflow within my team in order to keep each other ’s workload in check with online tools . This is to gain work clarity amongst colleagues and to update my manager on everyone ’s work progress . After discussing with my team how they keep track of their to - do lists , we decided to use an online task management tool called Asana . Selection From here , I use the learning launch tool to experiment with the feasibility of adopting Asana . Learning launch is a tool to experiment and test quickly test an idea on the actual user , and in the process gather insight and feedback to confirm the feasibility and refine the challenge with a clearer approach . Application After a session of educating the team on how to use Asana , we start to use the tool for the first week and find which feature is useful , which feature is redundant , which feature creates a sense of progress or accomplishment and more . After a week we will regroup to share our experience on the tool , and decide which feature helps streamline our work process , which feature is redundant , which feature is nice to have and can explore future possibilities . Insight Within 1 week of usage , we are able to validate our assumption , which feature is useful which feature is not . Additionally , both our team and the management would be able to view our workload live . This open to the new prioritization of tasks and processes . While the management is open to the prioritization of tasks and processes , the team expressed some concerns about the redundancy of the process . Moving forward , our team will review this insight and incorporate it into our workflow , so both the management and executives can benefit from the tool . Approach Within 1 week of using the learning launch , we get to actually apply the tool to our everyday situation to find out what works and what do n’t . From here it is much easier to gather quality feedback and ready to fully integrate the tool into our work process , and further test to refine the process so it suits the team and benefits the management .

Overcoming the Known Unknowns by Applying “ Learning Launch ” May 30 , 2020 Yogi Yates Challenge : Describe your challenge , including all relevant information . The company I consult with has been trying to move toward the Agile methodology for project management , initially through the software engineering group and slowly expanding to other parts of the business . The main challenge that I encountered as a change management consultant is that , where software developers have used Agile for most of their career , most of the engineering disciplines favor the waterfall approach . As a result , project teams struggle with the notion of iterations and sprints when they are used to having the entire project plan in place before starting . In order to adapt the change management planning approach , I first had to get the project teams comfortable with the Agile methodology . Selection : In your own words , briefly describe the tool you selected ( e.g. , what it is and why you selected it for your challenge -- including any appropriate video lecture references ) . In my initial assessment of the problem , I identified two key issues : first , familiarity with Agile was not consistent or uniform across the project teams , and in an engineering organization , that level of ambiguity and open - ended planning creates more than a little bit of angst . Second , the adopted methodology for change management across the corporation is heavily anchored in waterfall processes , and is , all by itself , very rigid and bureaucratic . To bridge the knowledge gap and begin moving in the direction of a more Agile approach , I selected the Learning Launch tool as a way to test some assumptions and possible approaches without creating unwarranted disruption with the ongoing project efforts . Application : Describe how you applied the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , what you did and how the tool was applied effectively or ineffectively ) . In selecting the Learning Launch approach , I had to think of a quote from Donald Rumsfeld , former Secretary of Defense , “ … there are known knowns ; there are things we know we know . We also know there are known unknowns ; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know . But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we do n't know we do n't know . ” The uncertainty that is inherent in the Agile methodology is not comfortable for aerospace engineers , but walking them through the process of identifying the " known knowns " and the " known unknowns " in terms of current and future application of the work helped to temper this . By guiding the project team through the discussion and answering the questions : " What do we know ? What do we not know ? What do we need to know ? How do we learn what we need to know ? " I was able to get them to actively reshape the project approach , and embrace the idea that what we were really working on was a product that has customers internal to the organization , not a project that would be launched and checked off of a list . We knew why we had been tasked to create the in - house capability to support knowledge management and to facilitate access to a repository of data . What we could not have anticipated , but where we suddenly had a use case to test from start to finish , was how COVID-19 and the need for information about its effect on our business would drive adoption of the capability we were building . It also forced the project team to realize that there was much that was unknowable as an entire body of knowledge was being created in real time . To see how this would inform our approach to the project , we launched a pilot initiative specifically focused on COVID-19 response , and observed the level of interaction , engagement and contribution to the knowledge base that was possible without any direction . As a result of this testing and observation , the project team realized the need to continue with the baseline project as originally specified , but with a built - in flexibility to adapt and rapidly create communities of practice where the type of interaction and knowledge sharing that would happen anyway could be harvested and captured for the future as well . And the project team acknowledged that it was essential to adopt an Agile mindset to allow the product to evolve with the needs of the business . Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) . I have worked in organizational development and change management for over a decade , and most of that time has been spent with engineers and software developers . The most significant observation I 've made through these years of consulting and with this project in particular is that , with engineers , it is very difficult to overcome the need for certainty . Acknowledging the inherent tension between the known and the unknown , and helping the project team see this as a call to action to think differently about scoping the project and testing different approaches , made it possible to guide the shift to a new mindset and an iterative approach to the project . By proving that the modified version of our project and change model was able to flex to the immediate and unanticipated needs of the business , and in the process to become an incredibly valuable resource to the organization , we were able to reach a level of comfort with the unknown , allowing for the possibility of co- creation of solutions based on the real - time needs of our internal customers . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why . In a strange way , it was fortunate that the pandemic forced us to challenge our assumptions about the true purpose and potential of the knowledge management capability we were developing . I feel that the Learning Launch approach enabled the project team to grapple with the ambiguity of the situation and test tentative solutions that they may not have been willing to experiment with in a normal " business as usual " situation . Ultimately , it turned out that the emergent communities of practice needed a slightly different version of the product we thought we were creating , and through the testing and observation process we were able to achieve a " Yes , and " solution : the team stayed true to the original requirements while building adaptive capability that could flex to the future . The other tool I would have considered using for this project team is Journey Mapping earlier on in the process , to better understand how the tools and capabilities would be used through the lens of our diverse internal customer groups . Through our observation of the communities of practice that emerged during the crisis , we were able to " reverse engineer " the journey of our users , but in our initial work on the scope and capability design , we would have benefited from these additional perspectives much earlier in the planning stage .

It also forced the project team to realize that there was much that was unknowable as an entire body of knowledge was being created in real time . To see how this would inform our approach to the project , we launched a pilot initiative specifically focused on COVID-19 response , and observed the level of interaction , engagement and contribution to the knowledge base that was possible without any direction . As a result of this testing and observation , the project team realized the need to continue with the baseline project as originally specified , but with a built - in flexibility to adapt and rapidly create communities of practice where the type of interaction and knowledge sharing that would happen anyway could be harvested and captured for the future as well . And the project team acknowledged that it was essential to adopt an Agile mindset to allow the product to evolve with the needs of the business . Insight : Describe the insight you gained from applying the tool you selected to your challenge ( e.g. , how an insight affected your thinking about the challenge and about design thinking more broadly ) . I have worked in organizational development and change management for over a decade , and most of that time has been spent with engineers and software developers . The most significant observation I 've made through these years of consulting and with this project in particular is that , with engineers , it is very difficult to overcome the need for certainty . Acknowledging the inherent tension between the known and the unknown , and helping the project team see this as a call to action to think differently about scoping the project and testing different approaches , made it possible to guide the shift to a new mindset and an iterative approach to the project . By proving that the modified version of our project and change model was able to flex to the immediate and unanticipated needs of the business , and in the process to become an incredibly valuable resource to the organization , we were able to reach a level of comfort with the unknown , allowing for the possibility of co- creation of solutions based on the real - time needs of our internal customers . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why . In a strange way , it was fortunate that the pandemic forced us to challenge our assumptions about the true purpose and potential of the knowledge management capability we were developing . I feel that the Learning Launch approach enabled the project team to grapple with the ambiguity of the situation and test tentative solutions that they may not have been willing to experiment with in a normal " business as usual " situation . Ultimately , it turned out that the emergent communities of practice needed a slightly different version of the product we thought we were creating , and through the testing and observation process we were able to achieve a " Yes , and " solution : the team stayed true to the original requirements while building adaptive capability that could flex to the future . The other tool I would have considered using for this project team is Journey Mapping earlier on in the process , to better understand how the tools and capabilities would be used through the lens of our diverse internal customer groups . Through our observation of the communities of practice that emerged during the crisis , we were able to " reverse engineer " the journey of our users , but in our initial work on the scope and capability design , we would have benefited from these additional perspectives much earlier in the planning stage . ### Output:

Farm Odyssey – Use of Visualization Tools to Design a New Life on the Farm Challenge Growing up on a farm in Iowa 30 plus years ago , I never would have imagined taking an online course to learn design concepts and tools that could be applied to reimagine the family farm , but here we are ! The presenting challenge is an aging father who is very set in his ways , and with good reason – he has done extremely well with past farm methods and still loves his work at age 78 . In fact , he feels that 114 years on the farm is not out of reach . And being his only son , seeing him do these risky activities ( like climbing a grain bin and driving heavy equipment to town ) with poor hearing and limited mobility has made me realize it is time to design a new way of managing the farm . Selection To imagine this new way , I have decided to use visualization tools to help us see alternative paths forward . During this Coursera course I came upon a book titled ‘ Design Your Life ’ by Dave Evans – a Design instructor at Stanford University . In it he provides a wonderful visualization tool called the Odyssey Planning Worksheet , along with some powerful questions for reflection . Both my dad and I are very visual thinkers and enjoy exploring alternative options . As described in week 1 of the course , visualization engages the right brain and can create a creative approach to imagining new opportunities Application The worksheets have yet to be reviewed with my father , but it is my goal to sit down with him after the busy harvest season and visualize the opportunities . I have completed a draft version to confirm the tool is appropriate for use , and identified the following process : The Odyssey Planning Worksheet will allow us to visualize 3 different options to pursue : 1 ) continue the ( very manual ) current process of farming ; 2 ) collaborate with my cousin to contract some of the planting and harvesting activities ; 3 ) rent the land and sell the farm equipment . With each alternative plan , the worksheet includes visual gauges to determine resources , likability , confidence and coherence of the plan . The full link to the Odyssey Planning Worksheet can be found here : http://designingyour.life/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/DYL-Odyssey-Planning-Worksheet-v21 . Insight & Approach What I have learned from visual exercises in the past , and anticipate with this discussion , is that when people have the ability to draw or see things in a worksheet they engage their creative side and become less defensive about current thoughts or processes . I ’ve seen this work time and again with project teams at work and am excited to work together with my father on designing a new way forward - one that limits his risk as an aging farmer and opens up new ideas for future investment and farm management . What I really appreciate about the Odyssey Planning Worksheet is that it combines an opportunity to explore a few options and then visualize how confident we are with certain plans . It also provides a rough draft timeline for key events that will need to happen along the way for each plan . It literally places people ‘ on the same page ’ working collaboratively , generating a new future . Design thinking can be applied to so many challenges , or ‘ problemtunities ’ as we have called them at work . In this case , design thinking can be used to reimagine life on the farm but I also see now that visualization is lacking in my life – I need more of it ! At work as a project manager , I have realized visualization tools can be used to facilitate many different team processes ( timeline discussions , task prioritization , team roles & responsibilities , etc ) . As a next action of this course I plan to expand on the power of visualization by attending Dan Roam ’s Napkin Academy . Who knows , maybe my future self involves being a Black Belt Master of Visual Presentations consultant while working remotely from the farm in Iowa !

Challenge One of the key challenge I have faced is to implement the Good and Service Tax ( GST ) impact on the Credit and Debit Notes to be issued to the customers . GST is recently implemented in India , which is new to everyone . The whole transaction is fully dependent on the customers and their requirements . Myself / my team challenge is how to implement the same in the existing ERP program used in the Organization . But this transaction involves various people in the multiple department and Multi products of our organization . It also involves various vendors transaction how they are routing their transaction through our organization to channel partners . Moreover , all the transactions should be perfectly matched with requirement of Government Tax module . Selection Our Team went through multiple ideas , design thinking tools and we find the Learning Launch tool to be effective . This will be very useful for compiling ideas and implement programs according to the requirement of the customers , Vendors and Government . We have appointed a committee with three sets of team members to collect the FAQ ( Frequently asked questions ) from the Vendors , Customers and our Internal team members from various departments handling different portfolios including Tax consultants , external agencies and also involves the system programmers . Application  Started learning about the requirement of GST Act  Basis the requirement , we started collecting data and ideas from the various departments  Have collated the details , based on frequently asked questions and captured all the points in presentation format circulated to all committee members to come back with their ideas to develop a new module in the ERP system  Committee started meeting every week along with programmers and started developing the program in the existing ERP module .  Programmer developed a prototype program and presented in the committee  Committee members have brainstorming session with various department team members and captured all the ideas given  Based on the ideas the programs are re - modified and presented  GST committee is not given approval to implement . Instead , they instructed all the teams to take print out of the output and requested the respective stake holders to get an opinion from the Vendors , Customers and Tax Consultants .  Basis opinion from the Vendors , Customers and Tax Consultants again programs are re- modified with the help of the programmers and finally program moved to live for execution . Insight and approach  Our approach was clear before implementing the Program , structure should be in place by brainstorming and various tooling ideas .  Our process to focus about the gaining the clarity on the tasks and priorities . It also understand the requirement of customers , Vendors and Government .  The program is designed as a part of the Learning Tool based on what is , what if , what ’s wows and what ’s works helped the teams a lot . By applying this Learning tool , team members got to know the requirements , approach of the other departments , Customers and Vendors and their behaviour which helped us in identifying the gaps and implementing specific new program . The Learning Launch tool under Design thinking gave a clear vision to me and to my Team members and to work on the any new program and the approach getting to execute clear tasks with priority mapping . It also gives us an Inspiration , Ideation and Implementation . It is an amazing experience and was very successful in implementing new challenging programs . This helped us a lot to build confidence for future tasks as well . Thank you .. Lisa Brock

Reflection – Learning Launch Challenge I am a member of my organization ’s corporate administration department and head the travel function for the entire organization . My team is responsible for making all the travel arrangements for the company employees and guests . All employees currently use a pre - trip approval tool for raising the request and then all the options are shared with them offline . This tool is based on our server and hence is inaccessible on mobiles and apps to our employees when they are travelling . Employee experience with the tool is not good and we need to change to an alternate product . The existing tool is not specially designed for travel requests and hence has a very poor MIS too . Our existing travel policy was very restrictive and required multiple approvals , causing inconvenience to the traveller . We had multiple rounds of meetings with the senior management to understand their requirements of detailed MIS reports , cost control and flexibility to the employees . We scoured the market to evaluate the various self - booking tools available in the market and their features . None of the software ’s met our requirements completely and would need a lot of development . Basis the past data and inputs I proposed a revised travel policy , which is liberating and empowering . Selection To test that the proposed changes to the policy and Post this we decided to select Learning Launch as our tool and work with a focus group of employees . This was selected as a tool because it can target the specific group of people effected by the existing booking system and policies and would be the best way to validate the hypothesis and the changes being proposed . This in a way also includes co creation in a small way . Post the validation and recommendations we shall done customize a shortlisted self - booking tool from the market . This would help in ensure capital is not wasted on inadequate software developments and the final product that shall be developed will have good acceptance and shall deliver to the expectations of the employees and the management . Application For our learning launch we had a meeting with the focus group of employees . We discussed all the existing challenges being faced by the employees and understood the wish list from them . We then demonstrated to them the shortlisted of the shelf self - booking tool and visually explained the various changes that we propose to make to the tool to meet our requirements highlighted before . We target the most painful points and let go of a few . Once we got confirmation from the group that this tool would provide them the fluidity and features that they have been wanting , we then put this production in motion . In the second part of the learning launch , the customised product was launched only to be used by the focus group and for UAT testing . Certain errors that were found were further ratified and the final product was then launched for the entire organization . The new tool has simplified and reduced the time to book travel , and raised the employee satisfaction . Better reporting mechanism has resulted in stronger controls on travel and costs . Insight Whilst using the learning launch tool we learnt , not all the assumptions made earlier are correct and not everything expected by the customers ( employees and management in this case ) is possible , due to technological limitations and others . It is important to target the most important challenges and resolve them to achieve a high level of customer satisfaction . Also by involving the target audience , they felt a part of the team responsible for the end result , further increasing the acceptance . Using the learning launch tool resulted in the team delivering a well thought of solution for challenges which did not have a ready off the shelf solution . Design thinking steps ( what is , what if , what wows and what works ) have now become integral to the way I think and has become a standard way of approaching any challenge . Approach Given that our team has already gone through the learning launch tool and we achieved the desired results , I can confirm that it was suitable for this exercise . Our exercise did include co creation in some part . However if I were to redo the whole thing again I would like to start with Journey mapping and then co create with the team ( target audience ) . In the current case we worked with feedback and past data to work towards suggested solution and steps . Our team would review the insight gained from our learning launch and incorporate this in our future projects .

Example Reflection – Visualization Challenge The tool that I used was the tool of Visual thinking , I used this one because I needed to made plan for an entrepreneurship . I continued studying on the College , but one of my goals since I was little is to start a small pastry shop , but in view that I do n’t have the required experience I decided to use this tool for helping me to get a perspective of what I can and can not do when I enter the workforce . The industry of pastry has a lot of competence , actually the people are more interested in tasting new flavors , they look for innovation and something that probably blow theirs minds . Selection Having a differentiator is essential for the success of any brand , that is why the design thinking , more specifically the visual thinking is a tool to show us the best way to follow . I use this approach to make a list of the materials , tools and help I need , from any suppliers , and where I need to go to get what I need . The use of visual tools helps a lot when we were looking for innovation or something that gives us a plus in front of the competitors . Application I start the process making a little list of the main things that my brand needed , making some drawings on boards , watching a lot of videos of the principal instruments that a pastry shop needs to start , also I search which social media is the most effective and opened accounts for my brand . As it was my own brand and I ’m the only one in the project everything was on my account , from expenses , labor , deliveries and costumer management accounts , purchases , complaints , comments , a lot of work for a student in progress . Insight The use of this tool gave me a lot of support because I had no experience with branding , but used the visual thinking helped me to visualize all the things that I had to do before and after thinking about starting my brand . It was not an easy road , I stressed many times and many times I cried for not knowing enough , but mostly the visual thinking helped me to clear my mind and think about how to face the challenges I was living day by day . I really learned a lot during the course and specifically the visual thinking helped me to broaden my vision a little bit , to push me to accept uncertainty and stop relying on data , but also to face new challenges and fail sometimes . Failing is not bad , it 's all about learning and having empathy with the customer to understand them better and grow as a brand . Approach The tool I used was a good one , the only problem is that my brand is already little , and I must do the hole work , maybe in the near future I can use the same tool me when I get two or three people I trust or show the ability for helping me in the pastry shop . In case there is a lot of work , I can distribute the tasks and receive feedbacks from my collaborators in order to create new strategies that will lead us on an even better way than the current one .

I really learned a lot during the course and specifically the visual thinking helped me to broaden my vision a little bit , to push me to accept uncertainty and stop relying on data , but also to face new challenges and fail sometimes . Failing is not bad , it 's all about learning and having empathy with the customer to understand them better and grow as a brand . Approach The tool I used was a good one , the only problem is that my brand is already little , and I must do the hole work , maybe in the near future I can use the same tool me when I get two or three people I trust or show the ability for helping me in the pastry shop . In case there is a lot of work , I can distribute the tasks and receive feedbacks from my collaborators in order to create new strategies that will lead us on an even better way than the current one . ### Output:

Challenge : It was a very good challenge since the narrative has to be clear and concise since we must know how to express ourselves and not water it so that others understand us Selection : I chose the storytelling tool since I find it very interesting how you should find the necessary words to be able to impact other people with the simple fact of knowing how to express what you feel or the message you want to give . Application : I applied it in my day to day , since sometimes I did not have a good coherence in what I said because people did not understand me very well since I did not know how to express myself and get to touch the bottom of their reasoning in a certain way Insight : It affected my way of speaking in a good way since I had to find another way to say things and get to impact people the way I wanted Approach : I could improve day by day taking into account new techniques to be able to communicate clearly and consistently with people , since it also greatly influences marketing so that we can attract our customers and want to buy our products and be able to cut them through the ear

Lisa Lee 723847538279 STORY TELLING The Potato , The Egg , And the Coffee Beans A boy named John was upset . His father found him crying . When his father asked John why he was crying , he said that he had a lot of problems in his life . His father simply smiled and asked him to get a potato , an egg , and some coffee beans . He placed them in three bowls . He then asked John to feel their texture and then fill each bowl with water . John did as he had been told . His father then boiled all three bowls . Once the bowls had cooled down , John ’s father asked him to feel the texture of the different food items again . John noticed that the potato had become soft and its skin was peeling off easily ; the egg had become harder and tougher ; the coffee beans had completely changed and filled the bowl of water with aroma and flavour .

Challenge : Many Farmers In India are getting their minimum selling price for their goods . As a result many of them try to sucide because of excessive loans and family burden . Selection : With what is and what if i have explored all the difficulties and problems of the problem and developed a small solution . In order to check this I will use Learning Launch Tool . In learning launch we will experiment our idea in small scale . In this we can notice the main challenges of our idea and know the working of our idea . Application : My idea is to deliver good directly from farmer to the consumer . So we started exeprimenting 5 farmers . The crops they grow were noted down and accordingly a consumer who require it was founded . We could not solve the problem because we could not meet the requirement of the consumer at the time he want . There is a large amount of production given by the farmer and finding out many consumers was a difficult task . Our idea was failed in the intial stage itself and we failed but fast and cheap . Insight : > > We should be able to have good marketing of our product much before the crop is harvested . > > Farmers is go a step ahead and complete the processing of the crop generated so that would good price > > Need to develop a trust for our idea . > > Delivery of the product should me made to 3 days from 15 days . > > Farmers need to be encouraged to do farming without using pests weedicides or fertilisers . So that we will have much greater demand as natural ones are good for health . Approach : Will improve all challenged developed in insight section . Would collect more data in what is and what if section . So that all challenges will be note down much before Lerning Lauch stage . Will take interviews of the consumers who have received the product and ask them about the thing they liked and hated .

Unemployment through Mind Mapping Challenge : Unemployment is the major issue in India and it is very difficult to find a decent paying job in India due to ruthless competition which is in fact the effect of very high population . But we need to identify the causes and solutions to unemployment in India so that a son of farmer also can find a job and led a satisfactory life Selection of Mind Mapping tool : Unemployment is a challenge that needs to analyzed from many people ’s perspective and come out with different solutions . Mind mapping is a good tool to start and carry out the analysis of the problem of unemployment . The branching aspect of Mind Mapping tool gives us the visualization of what are the factors that are affecting the problem and simultaneously could be linked to other causes , effect or solutions right away on the same sheet of paper . Application : 1.First we name and visualize the problem and its effects : 2 . Analyze the potential solutions to the problem , while still visualizing its effects 3 . Structure the information related to causes , effects and solutions 4 . Point out the relationships between causes and effects in order to identify the best solution 1.Homelessness 2.Low Self - Esteem 3.Increased Taxes 4.Increase in poverty 5 . Decrease of Productivity Main Effects Unemployment Insights : So one solution we can gather from this mind map is Increased competition could be reduced by focusing on vocation skills of population and starting training courses for the unemployed . If we see the current scenario the government of India is doing the exact same thing with their Skill India Mission which provides training to the unemployed people and provides vocational skills .

REFLECTION - MIND MAPPING 1 . CHALLENGE & SELECTION : Mind mapping is an efective way of summarising lots of information in an easy to understand way , in an or- ganised , interesting and impactful form . It helps in converting monotonous information into a colorful and highly organised and simplifed diagram which simplifes things for our brain exponentially . “ Mind mapping is looking for patterns and insights in the large quantity of data collected during the explora- tions of what is ” . Our brain is capable of thinking a lot of things at a time , thus managing our thoughts and ideas becomes a very difcult task . In cases/ scenarios like these , the mind mapping tool lets us capture thoughts , ideas and keywords , thus summarising our concepts by retaining just the important part . 2 . APPLICATION : According to me mind mapping tool is very helpful in things like memorising , organisation of ideas , making presentations , brainstorming and solving of problems . Being a design student , I am going to share a personal ex- perience with all of you which will ultimately prove the im- portance of the tool ‘ Mind mapping ’ . Last year , we were given an assignment where the entire class was divided into groups of four and we had to study a given problematic area and then we had to document the whole process and provide an alternate solution for improvement . The problem area was stationery shops and we started collecting data through research and by con- ducting surveys and interviewing the stakeholders that were involved . Once we had all the data now it was time to sort it , organise it and document the fnal approaches , and that was where we hit a block . The amount of data collect- ed was so extrvagant and we were exhausted just thinking of managing and organising it all . Tackling this block was such a task , we tried many approaches , from sorting to brainstorming but this clutter was not at all manageable . Then we all sat and started thinking of ways with calm mind and though of going back to square one and ap- proached the data from a diferent perspective . We started making mind maps and that helped us to sort , organise and arrange the huge data into a compilation of aesthetic and better understanding data . 3.INSIGHTS & APPROACH : Mind mapping was something I did n’t know about until I hit the block . One of my group member intro- duced the tool of mind mapping to me while doing the assignment . While I used the tool in the assign- ment to get my objectives and thoughts organised , I came to a realisation that mind maps can be used everywhere and anywhere . Knowing the concepts of mapping down is an absolute life saver . Though I am happy that I chose this course as it gave me a broader and better understanding of how mind mapping can be used to reap its benefts fully . Mapping is a graphical way to represent ideas and helps in structuring informaton . It can be applied in any context and is very fexible . We usually start by jot- ting down the ideas as they come in our mind , basical- ly we brainstorm and then fnd themes and patterns in the already collected data . This ensures that all the im- portant points are taken into account and the unnec- essary clutter is drained out .

Reflection - Visualization Challenge The Challenge I have is to initiate a digitalization project in a public library . The question that needs to be answered is : “ What kind of programs , like workshops , tours , talks , etc . can the library run to create a valuable benefit for the public ? ” . In the “ What is?”-Phase we are analyzing the current status of the institution , including the setting and the stakeholders . The goal is to make digital elements accessible to the visitors of the library and also to educate the staff in supplying those . To achieve this you have to take into the account the mindset of both stakeholders . Visitors are primarily interested in analog media like books and newspaper . Employees are administrative staff that have , putting it in a very simplified way , a mindset accustomed to linear problem solving , due to the fact that a vast amount of their work is sorting and filing books using excel sheets . To launch a transformation in this field with sustainable results I will need to incorporate the employees in the process . In order to activate the other side of their brain visualization tools seem a probate and effective tool . A big part of the challenge is to bring the team together to create a project that reaches out to the public . The team and the public both need to learn to use new digital devices and media . Selection and Application Since visualization connects to the emotional side of the brain , I chose this approach , because the learning process is deeply connected to emotions and works best in a playful and fearless environment . We went through the phases “ What- Is”(1 ) , “ What - If”(2 ) , “ What - Wows”(3 ) and “ what - Works”(4 ) using different visualization tools . In phase one the team joined to draw match - stick drawings of typical library situations , in phase two we took photographs of those situations and enhanced them with digital tools and media icons , in phase three we went out to people in the library to ask them what they found most interesting and “ cool ” in phase four we created a poster displaying the process and displaying our survey - results . With this poster we can display our goals and the possible realization process to future stakeholders and investors . The team was not accustomed to design thinking methods , before . We used the sketching method , explained by Angela Mayer in Module 1 , in order to activate the part of the brain and stimulate the affective perspective . One example we worked on was a person looking for a specific travel - guide . She is standing in the aisle between a long row of bookshelves and does not know where to go . In phase two we then added an icon of a globe above the specific shelve . This led to the idea of an Augmented Reality ( AR ) program to support finding books more easily using AR- glasses or your phone . If you will look in a specific direction an icon will pop up over the shelves , displaying the content . Insight and Approach In sessions one and two we did not include all stakeholders , especially but unintentionally excluded the public , the have been included in phases three and four . Focussing on the “ What Wows - Phase ” and the “ What - Works - Phase ” we did surveys on how the public liked the idea , but they were not really academically prepared , so it is questionable if the results therein are valid . We could not really test the AR idea . We will need to approach an agency for this step and realize some more Design Thinking workshops . What really worked well was nourishing the creative side of the team . What I really like is that with applying a specific set of methods you a can easily dip into the world of design thinking , promoting agility and transformation processes in small steps .

### Task: You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following: NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names. EMAIL - A student’s email address. USERNAME - A student's username on any platform. ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number. PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student. URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student. STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address. ### Input: Reflection - Visualization Challenge The Challenge I have is to initiate a digitalization project in a public library . The question that needs to be answered is : “ What kind of programs , like workshops , tours , talks , etc . can the library run to create a valuable benefit for the public ? ” . In the “ What is?”-Phase we are analyzing the current status of the institution , including the setting and the stakeholders . The goal is to make digital elements accessible to the visitors of the library and also to educate the staff in supplying those . To achieve this you have to take into the account the mindset of both stakeholders . Visitors are primarily interested in analog media like books and newspaper . Employees are administrative staff that have , putting it in a very simplified way , a mindset accustomed to linear problem solving , due to the fact that a vast amount of their work is sorting and filing books using excel sheets . To launch a transformation in this field with sustainable results I will need to incorporate the employees in the process . In order to activate the other side of their brain visualization tools seem a probate and effective tool . A big part of the challenge is to bring the team together to create a project that reaches out to the public . The team and the public both need to learn to use new digital devices and media . Selection and Application Since visualization connects to the emotional side of the brain , I chose this approach , because the learning process is deeply connected to emotions and works best in a playful and fearless environment . We went through the phases “ What- Is”(1 ) , “ What - If”(2 ) , “ What - Wows”(3 ) and “ what - Works”(4 ) using different visualization tools . In phase one the team joined to draw match - stick drawings of typical library situations , in phase two we took photographs of those situations and enhanced them with digital tools and media icons , in phase three we went out to people in the library to ask them what they found most interesting and “ cool ” in phase four we created a poster displaying the process and displaying our survey - results . With this poster we can display our goals and the possible realization process to future stakeholders and investors . The team was not accustomed to design thinking methods , before . We used the sketching method , explained by Angela Mayer in Module 1 , in order to activate the part of the brain and stimulate the affective perspective . One example we worked on was a person looking for a specific travel - guide . She is standing in the aisle between a long row of bookshelves and does not know where to go . In phase two we then added an icon of a globe above the specific shelve . This led to the idea of an Augmented Reality ( AR ) program to support finding books more easily using AR- glasses or your phone . If you will look in a specific direction an icon will pop up over the shelves , displaying the content . Insight and Approach In sessions one and two we did not include all stakeholders , especially but unintentionally excluded the public , the have been included in phases three and four . Focussing on the “ What Wows - Phase ” and the “ What - Works - Phase ” we did surveys on how the public liked the idea , but they were not really academically prepared , so it is questionable if the results therein are valid . We could not really test the AR idea . We will need to approach an agency for this step and realize some more Design Thinking workshops . What really worked well was nourishing the creative side of the team . What I really like is that with applying a specific set of methods you a can easily dip into the world of design thinking , promoting agility and transformation processes in small steps . I will keep on this track and gradually implement more methods . ### Output:

DESIGN THINKING │ REFLECTION │ MIND MAPPING CHALLENGE The challenge I chose to apply my now gained knowledge about design thinking to is mainly based around the topic of internal perception versus external perception . In further detail : The challenge is about a big media com- pany , which manages a huge portfolio of magazines , digital products and media services . The company is mostly known for its big selection of print magazines , which makes it the country ’s leading magazine publishing house . A large proportion of the revenues are generated through advertisements and advertorials , which are acquired di- rectly by companies or , most often the case , their representative agencies . Because of the strongly decreasing importance of print magazines , the company is more and more - but at a slow pace - shifting its focus towards digital magazines . Within the company , the top management as well as the staff perceive themselves and their work as innovative . Outside the company : Increasingly less so . This is mostly obvious in meetings with agencies , who usually have a much younger , digitally savvy staff which grew up with digital magazines rather than print magazines . The problem : The agencies perceive the company as not in touch with the latest digital trends , the company ( from the agencies ’ point of view ) lacks modern - day credibility and the company and agencies less and less connect at eye level . Even though - and this is important - the company manages a big and very successful portfolio of digital magazines and could easily cater for the agencies ’ needs . SELECTION The tool I used for my design thinking process to approach the above - mentioned challenge was the tool of Mind Mapping . I chose to use Mind Mapping , because the assessment or exploration phase of the process ( with what if ? being the leading question ) resulted in a large quantity of data , which as a consequence needed to be grouped ( mind mapped ) to look for patterns and insights . Those patterns and insights - first and foremost the dominant and promising ones - formed the basis respectively created the criteria for the idea generation phase ( with what if ? being the leading question ) . APPLICATION To address my challenge , I initiated a workshop with representatives of both the media company and an agency . I carefully selected the participants according to varying socio - demographic details and across all hierarchy levels . For the activity , I divided all the agency representatives as well as all the representatives of the media company into two groups each , which resulted in four groups of three people each . I then told both groups of agency repre- sentatives to put themselves in the role of the media company and - accordingly - both groups of the media com- pany ’s representatives to put themselves in the role of the agency . Two groups ( one in the role of the media company , one in the role of the agency ) I then told that they should discuss how the embodied organisation possibly perceives itself internally , whereas the other two groups ( one in the role of the media company , one in the role of the agency ) should discuss how the embodied organisation is possibly perceived by external stakeholders . I gave those four groups about 20 minutes to discuss and note their different thoughts and ideas on slips of paper . The next task was to assemble the Mind Map , for which I had clustered a big board into two sections : Strengths and Weaknesses . Beyond that , I deliberately not gave the participants any advice or recommendation on how to cluster the Mind Map . With this , I wanted to allow this very diverse group of stakeholders to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope of the Mind Map , the key elements as well as the relationships between the individual elements . Throughout this process , I acted as a moderator by - for example - asking them to further elaborate on their thoughts , triggering discussions or sharing thought - provoking impulses . While clustering the Mind Map together and listening to the thoughts and statements generated in the assessment process , I quickly realised that the main issue revolves around the humans involved and not the products itself . For example : An elderly representative from the media company admitted to a lack of self - confidence in situations when she has to present digital magazines to young agency representatives , because she perceives them as being more knowledgeable regarding digitalisation - even though she feels confident about her knowledge of the product and is convinced by the quality of it and its possible positive impact . This results - from her point of view - in a worse presentation of the product , which leads to the agency doubting the quality of the product . I chose this design of the activity , because I wanted both sides to put themselves in the role of the other organisa- tion , reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and eventually create empathy and a deeper understanding of the other organisation ’s needs and demands . After the workshop , I digitized the different pillars and categories of the Mind Map and highlighted the statements and aspects that I perceived as the most valuable and useful for the idea generation phase . INSIGHT The most interesting insight I have gained from applying the tool of Mind Mapping to this specific challenge is that the most valuable aspects were not shared in written form ( slips of paper / notes from the assessment phase ) but in verbal form , when I asked the participating stakeholders to explain their notes and the reason why they posi- tioned them at a specific spot on the Mind Map . In this process of reflecting and elaborating , the participants were more precise and even more open and honest in regard to what they originally had wanted to communicate . My interpretation of this insight is that - by this time of the workshop - the stakeholders felt more comfortable in this surrounding and had internalised the fact that this process might really help them rather than solely expose per- sonal as well as company related issues and problems . APPROACH Since I discovered the most valuable insights for the following idea generation phase through the stakeholders ’ verbal elaboration on their notes , next time I would chose a design thinking activity which is less focused on putting thoughts into written words but more about ( spontaneous ) verbal explanations by the participants . I would like to use the tool of visualization and make the stakeholders put together a collage , which they then have to present to the other participants , as I would expect more openness and honesty through drawing or putting together a collage rather than writing .

Peer Review Assignment - Design Thinking for Business Challenge and Selection Some time ago , I used to work for a leading house cleaning product manufacturer . When I came to work there , a hot topic at the time was a request that a top warehouse customer asked for us to work on : developing a new product for their stores . They had asked a few weeks before , and were already expecting an answer . The line of product they asked for was floor cleaners , a line usually sold in supermarkets , at $ 1 USD per PET bottle . Consumers use the product because of 2 main benefits : cleaning capability and more importantly , aroma . Our product was not market leader , but it was perceived as the offering with the best aromas ( 5 alternatives in total ) The ​challenge​ was clear : - It must be delivered by pallet , as their stores work in such a format - Each product should be easy to grab and see by the consumer , no boxes . - The revenue per pallet per week was also very clear , expecting us to offer a selling price point to consumers close to $ 10 USD - The product should not be available to consumers through any other distributor or be similar to what competitors offered . The product development team had been unable to offer a solution mainly because of the pallet format requirement , since the bottom PET bottles could not stand the weight of 4 layers on top , amount of product needed to reach the revenue level also required by the customer , without cardboard boxes . The ​selection​ of method I chose was visualization . I decided to create a multifunctional team to solve the issue , and invited - an industrial designer who worked for the cardboard boxes supplier - The sales manager in charge of the customer / channel - An engineer from the product development team at the company - Me , as the marketing manager in charge of the product line We sat for a couple of hours discussing the requirements and limitations . We drew a few ideas and thought of how we could be able to deliver the pallet alternative . The ​application​ ended up to be a 9 bottle pack , mixed aromas , arranged in a 3x3 fashion , which carried a cardboard insert in the shape of a “ tic - tac - toe ” and was then bound with shrinkwrap , using a machine already available at the facility . The experiment was relatively simple to execute , the pallet held the weight and appearance , plus the price point reached the mark . We proceeded to send one pallet to each store for a market test . Sales reached up to 10 % of total sales to that customer in the first year of sales . The most valuable ​insight​ for the team was that , specially with products already selling regularly , the idea of innovating fast and easy becomes impossible . The team in the factory found that sometimes solutions are right there if you are open to seeing them , and the involvement of an industrial engineer became a regular practice in other projects . I still believe the ​approach​ of visualization and meeting at the facility were key in being able to solve the situation . Having a multifunctional team , specially designated to find solutions proved to be synergistic not only then , but with multiple projects to follow .

Use of Visualization tool for solving business problems Challenge & Selection : Visualization is a great design thinking tool which I feel I can make good use of in my work place . I work in the product management function of an automobile company which is primarily into the sales of mining trucks in India . In my role , I am supposed to interact with sales managers for gathering ideas for development of new products , to train them on various product features , explain the customer value proposition of various products / features etc . Often I find it challenging to explain a feature in our product ( truck / lorry ) to our internal employees(sales managers , marketing professionals etc ) who are from non - technical background or who do n’t have prior experience in the field . I am of the strong opinion that ‘ ’ Visualization ’’ tool can bridge this gap effectively in our discussions . Visualization will help all team members to have a clear understanding of the topic , avoiding confusion and enable them to bring onboard new ideas to solve any challenges being discussed . For example , if the feature of the truck is explained through diagrams , pictures or videos in actual working conditions in layman ’s terms , it will help in bringing an easy understanding for all team members . As Ms. Angela Mayer rightly explained in the video lecture , it will help in unlocking different parts of your brain and open up new ideas . Application I will provide an example of a situation in which I effectively used the tool . We had conducted an internal workshop in our company in which we were brainstorming ideas for pitching our products in new segments . Participants had a closed mindset initially because they were not able to imagine the scenarios in which our products can be used in the segments in which we are currently not present . Then we started listing down a sample segment and bifurcated the segment further into different sub segment on a drawing board . We put pictures of the segment on a presentation format for the participants to visualize easily . We asked participants to list down the opportunities and challenges in each sub - segment . Once we had a comprehensive understanding of the segment and all points were noted on the drawing board , we could relate various points easily and find opportunities for our products knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the same . Insight & Approach My learning from the above experience was that in a group , people will always have different levels of understanding of the same situation or a problem at hand . Some of them will be able to visualize a scenario in their mind without any graphical representation or pictures and others may not . Some of them will have better expertise or knowledge of the situation over others . Visualization tool will enable us to bring a common understanding of the problem within the group if even it could be more time consuming . If you are leading a discussion or any similar idea generation workshop in your workplace or anywhere else , it will help in more people contributing to your objective . A mistake people often make is that we do n’t take the effort to bring this common understanding within a group and end up in non- constructive debates and arguments on the problem statement with different understanding . Another design thinking tool which I feel I can use in similar situations is “ Storytelling ’’ . All of us love stories and stories can grab the attention of your audience like nothing else . Storytelling combined with Visualization tool can ensure that your audience is engaged and aligned with your thoughts . I rarely use Storytelling in my day - to - day life and I will have to make conscious efforts to develop this skill knowing what difference it can make . To summarize , visualization tool is so powerful that it can be used in all four stages of design thinking process – what is , what if , what wows and what works . Those who master this tool will find the whole design thinking process lot easier and will bring better results in all walks of their life . * * End of document * *

Village Development New innovations should be done to develop villages . Roads wo n’t be Ina perfect condition in villages No electrical facility No proper educational institutions No proper internet facilities for students There is not much literacy No library facility No hospitals Literacy rate is low To make all these possible for the people I decided to keep a call center . In that call center educated people will be given jobs who are eligible and are unemployed . The employers will be given a good salary . This would help the people and also the villagers This will use as helping hand for the villagers for any sort of work This center also have a RMP who knew the basic aid Farmers will be thought new techniques in farming too .

VISUALIZATION CHALLENGE I am a member of an organization in the automotive sector focused on the promotion and sale of a new vehicle on the market . My challenge is to have a good advertising campaign for the car , so that it can gain strength and customers are excited when they have information about the vehicle . Due to the competition in the automotive sector , I must be very punctual with all the characteristics of the car at a good cost and seeking to meet the needs of people interested in the vehicle . The project was carried out individually and with a period of 8 days to present results about the advertising campaign to be carried out . SELECTION The tool that I have decided to use is visualization since it is an important part of communication and establishing how far we can go with our campaign , just as we do with the vehicles we offer to the market . In addition , it will help us to see what supplies and tools we have as well , as well as the sectors that we must improve and start up . This is a very helpful tool since it will give us a vision of what we can achieve by creating images in our head that can be gradually molded to be more precise . APPLICATION To carry out the visualization tool , I began to investigate the means of communication by which people come to know about the cars that are sold in our organization . Based on the results , I decided that the best thing was to have a visual promotion , through internet videos , on television on days and times where people are available to be in tune with the television signal . Regarding what would be seen in the commercial of the vehicle , I decided on three presentations . In the first one we could enjoy a road area with a sunny day , and on board the car a family with children , very comfortable , transmitting happiness for being safe on board the car and living with those they love the most . In the second we saw a young man arriving to pick up a young woman with a night scene , quiet and in the city , transmitting the message that he will always accompany you in unforgettable moments . In the third and last , an adult couple is seen who go slowly , through a quiet area with a greenish landscape , remembering the good times they spent with their children and now they were going to visit their grandchildren . INFORMATION The visualization tool helped me to place all the situations that I wanted my campaign to address , trying to reach a sector of the population where everyone was included , everyone felt important and loved for something they would buy and always went accompany you in the most important and happy moments in your life . With this tool I was able to see all the options in which the campaign could appear and I had a brainstorm by contrasting what I wanted and what I had . I feel that it is a complete tool , since it helped us to see how far we have the possibility of going and what we need to be able to fulfill it and work on it . FOCUS I would probably change some things about the tool , since many times our state of mind influences our mind too much and on bad days , we probably will not be able to have a complete vision of our ideas and of everything we can achieve and with what things we have and which will be very difficult to count on . But outside of this , I feel that it is a very good tool that makes us fill all the spaces .

MIND MAPPING CHALLENGE- Mind mapping is a highly effective way of getting information in and out of your brain . Mind mapping is a creative and logical means of note - taking and note - making that literally " maps out " your ideas . All Mind Maps have some things in common . They have a natural organizational structure that radiates from the center and use lines , symbols , words , color and images according to simple , brain - friendly concepts . Mind mapping converts a long list of monotonous information into a colorful , memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your brain 's natural way of doing things . SELECTION- Step 1 . Collecting goals First we start with collecting all goals . Write down all the goals you want to do in keywords or small sentences . Keep writing till nothing pops up anymore . Collecting many goals is fine , because selection will take place later . Step 2 . Central theme The next step is to type the central theme in the centre of a blank page . Step 3 . General associations For the first level around the central theme , we look for general associations . The following categories are a great way to bring order into goals : personal , work , education , social and financial . Step 4 . Selecting and connecting goals Selecting goals is important , because every goal will need it ’s time in the agenda . Having too many goals lowers the chance of achieving them . APPLICATIONS- Once you have acquired the mind mapping techniques and abilities there is a plethora of applications for you to use them on . Tasks to be mastered with mind maps : Decision making ( weighing of competing factors ) Organize your ideas ( notes ) Organize the ideas of others ( records ) Memory ( mnemonic ) Creative thinking and brainstorming ( conceptualization ) Development of a group consciousness ( group mind map ) INSIGHTS- Mind mapping is a passion for me , and it is one of the strongest drivers behind this blog . I plan to explore it in much more depth – publishing mind maps , providing tips , talking about computer mind mapping , and much more . Just make sure to keep visiting . n the meantime , please give mind mapping a chance – try it out . Follow these handy tips and see the results for yourself . Do n’t worry too much about doing it the " right " way – just make it fun . APPROACH- The benefits of mind mapping are extensive and far - reaching .

Mind mapping ( sorry for my english if you find some spelling and/or grammar errors ) Challenge & selection I have not used yet mind mapping , but I have already worked on the design of new commercial offers and would like to reflect on how the mind mapping tool may have helped me to do a better work . Indeed , I was once asked by some big monolithic French logistics company to help them to design new commercial offers , some “ quick win ” that may help them to enlarge their revenues . A 3 - day workshop was conducted with the top management worldwide , but the company had organized . They just invited the top management for 3 - days ... They asked us for help 3 days before the workshop to “ save the day ” Which we did , according to the criteria they had , but I remained pretty sure we could have done a better job and I have now some ideas why . Indeed , even if our job was to be the firefighters for a messy situation ( limited knowledge of the sector beforehand and stressed timing ... ) , we still could have gained more momentum from the c. 20 participants . Application & approach What we did was i ) to look for “ real customer needs ” first , ii ) to then generate some “ new ideas ” through brainstorming , iii ) assess these new ideas and iv ) develop them . The 3 - day workshpo encompasses phases i ) and ii ) . Here are a few errors we did : - for “ real customer needs ” , we asked the company what they thought the customer needed . We differentiated behavior , want and need , but we looked only on a theorical way on the “ customer journey ” and never spoke to one of them - for “ new ideas ” we asked top management for their insights : these were sometimes partial or “ out of the field ” and , even when they were good , were generated by people who had a similar mindset - and we assessed the ideas instead of trying them I want to focus on the mind mapping because , even with the constraint we had ( 3 - day time to generate an idea and insights mainly from top management ) , I am pretty sure we could have better handled the connection between the “ needs ” and the “ ideas ” . Hence the “ criteria ” . More specifically , to generate “ needs ” we separated the 20 participants into 4 groups to discuss about customers ’ situations that the logistics company had to handle . What happened ? What was the issue ? What was the reaction ? And , most importantly , why did this specific situation occure , what was the core element ? For each situation , we tried to highlight the customer point of view and , for instance , the security aspect emerged for specific products , or the complex storage management of some specific dangerous products . We also looked at the competition , their actions and why they developed that functionality or that other one . From there we defined some patterns . But these patterns were developped by groups of 4 - 5 persons within a room , talking about the specific issues they already knew . At the end of the process , each group showed its conclusions to the entirety of the workshop ( traditional “ each group selects a speaker to show its conclusions ” way of doing ) and we hoped to generate some discussions between the 4 groups ( for instance “ oh yeah , we all agree this is an important need to tackle ” . Insights Wrong . We missed a lot of things 1- when the boss speaks , other people remain silent . And nobody contradicts him 2- people do not think , they speak . And sometimes it is important to take some time for yourself 3- people did not really have time to discuss about the situations per see , they only had time to discuss the conclusions each group had reached 4- we did not generate any link between clusters / topics 5- we missed the ‘ criteria phase ’ and directly jumped to the “ what do we do ? ” phase I think the 1st phase , considering the constraints we had ( timing and people ) , may not have been a bad one ( generate 4 small groups to brainstorm on specific situations ) . But , after these discussions , it would have been great to just describe on panels or other media the situations that led to our conclusions . Only the situations and not the conclusions each group reached , to see if other participants who look at the same situations on the panel would reach the same conclusions . Maybe other “ needs ” or other insights would have emerged to aliment our ideas . A same situation can be seen differently according to the point of view . We would have generated more discussion on the 2nd phase and , quite important , some connections may have emerged between the different situations or insights ( whereas we remained limited to a “ group ” by “ group ” point of view ) . We directly jumped to the 2nd phase without really looking at one of the most important phase , the links and the criteria . At the end of the process we had something like 10 to 14 ideas , selected 5 of them , developped 3 prototypes and one went into market . It “ went into market ” , I am not sure it succeeded

Mind Mapping Peer - graded assignment for ‘ Design Thinking for Business Innovation ’ , Qaisar Johnson , 22 January 2017 Challenge I work as engineer in a global consultancy and we have recently started to employ design thinking tools to address challenges our clients face which were previously addressed with analytical problem- solving techniques . The most recent challenge was a request for proposal ( RFP ) to design the new building for the school of music for a re - known university . The challenge was that this was an open request and many engineering consultants would be competing and submitting bids . We knew we had to do something different to differentiate ourselves and impress the client . Selection We selected the mind - mapping tool . This tool has the advantage that it is placed early in the process of design thinking ( DT ) . It can be deployed with a small number of chosen participants and in a short time frame without the need to analyse large amounts of data or secondary research . It is also not depending on pre - requisites as it is placed in the What - Is stage . Used correctly it can subsequently be utilised in What - If , What - Wows , and What - Works stages once the project is awarded to the firm . Figure 1 – typical Mind Mapping Steps ( DT for Business Innovation , Week 3 ) Application We took the design criteria defined by the university in the RFP and mapped them out in a room . We then invited a diverse group of participants to come to our ‘ yard sale ’ . Key members were music teachers from all backgrounds ; primary school to university , with long years of experience all the way to freshly graduated ones . They were asked to reflect on key questions such as : - What is the typical day for a student studying music ? - What are pressure points for you as a teacher teaching music ? - What facilities / spaces / tools are you missing most now / in the past ? - What good experiences / success do you / did you have in teaching music ? Which facilities / spaces / tools enable(d ) you to enjoy / achieve these ? The results from this session were recorded and included in the RFP submission to the client . The client was very impressed with our submission and praised the unique approach which had taken them by surprise . It created a positive vibe and encouraged the client organisation themselves to think critically about what their drivers are for the new facility . Insight In taking a DT tool and deploying it with minimal effort at an early stage we were able to showcase our ability to think creatively for the client . We were also able to open up a discussion about their real objectives , which in the past might have been overlooked or come to light much later in the design process causing costly changes or unhappy building owners / users . The approach provided a differentiation against other firms competing for the design commission by simply applying a tool we already use in a slightly different setting . The limited resource requirement and short timeframes to deploy the tool made it suitable for this early stage where no revenue is generated for the firm . Approach It is likely that we would use Mind - Mapping again in a similar situation . The following key advantages speak for Mind - Mapping : - It is placed early in the DT process and can be deployed with minimal pre - requisites - It requires a short amount of time to produce tangible results and material which can be communicated clearly to a party outside of the process . - It requires little resources and almost no investment – crucial at this early stage when the firm is still competing for the design commission .

Tool – Visualization Visualization is a tool I have found very useful in doing business analysis work aimed at delivering software solutions in the organizations I belonged to . The job is majorly about eliciting and understanding business and technical requirements from various groups of stakeholders & to be users of the new system and document such requirements in an organized and easy to understand manner that the development team can use as a bible to build the solution . To do this , we can always resort to writing paragraphs and essays on the requirements . Nevertheless on projects we have seen that any amount of words is not enough in clearly communicating the requirements of the solution in the most understandable way . That is when we chose to use the Visualization technique by providing wireframes of how the application screens should look like with clearly thought out layout of screen components and features . These demo screens in addition to the requirements list helped drive a very clear understanding of the requirements between all the stakeholders of the project , eliminating rude shocks upon final delivery of the solution . The visualization helped in 2 ways . One , the visualization helped me as a business analyst to understand if I myself have understood the requirements clearly by validating them with the requirements sources . Two , it helped me communicate the business requirements in a more understandable manner to the otherwise technical group of developers . The visualization helped reduce the length of requirement analysis meetings considerably since now people are able to visualize how the solution is going to look like and hence suggesting changes or driving acceptance among all felt like a much easier task . Requirement conflicts could also be handled more effectively now since the people visualize how one component clashes with the other and so are able to review the entirety of the solution more objectively than ever before minimizing the bias . Visualization was also used by me to depict the user flow in the system and various use cases for the application being developed . This helps building consensus among people on the business value expected out of the system and also helps the technical team understand the user behavior expected in the system and plan the technical capabilities of the application accordingly . Visualization takes time in terms of getting the visuals / pictures ready basis the requirements gathered , however reduces lot of efforts afterwards through reducing time needed for requirement analysis , conflict resolution , explaining requirements to technical developers , reworks on solution delivered , etc .

Reflection – Storytelling Challenge & Selection Storytelling is a great tool that I use all the time , and I consider it necessary to Capture Attention , Build Trust , and Close a negotiation or obtain resources . I work with international teams , supporting and coordinating projects that focus on enhancing the experience of being a member of the company I work across international teams , helping reduce cultural shock , helping them feel part of a big company , and giving recognition and improve cross - collaboration . I use storytelling to obtain approval from senior managers to run a project , get a perk for the employees or set process that may enhance cross - cultural collaboration , some times it gets a lot of time and efforts to obtain approval from senior managers since in company terms , could not be a top priority , this could be challenging . I use stories from the employees or my personal experiences . I creatively use the information , knowing that senior management spends a lot of time in meetings , so I try to use interactive tools while sharing the story . Application I have one story that came to my mind . Almost a year ago , the company had to merge international departments into one single Global department ; this incorporation was intended to equal opportunities , improve international user and employee experience , and make diversity a priority within the company . This goal sounds amazing and mindful ; however it brought a lot of challenges and bottlenecks . After a few months that the merger started , cultural shock arrived within the international members , with that lack of collaboration and unsuccessful processes dropping almost 20 % of the international employee satisfaction . I proposed launching an intercultural activity within all the teams , mapping all the cultures that integrated a team to help individuals and teams identify how cultures can impact their work , increase awareness , and be more effective at bringing differences and preventing invisible cultural barriers . To get an approval to launch this activity company - wide , I told a story about I migrated to united states , how I experience cultural shock . My manager was from germany , we had different communication and leadership styles , at first I took everything personal ( I ignored the cultural differences ) one day she decide to not use my work , something that I took weekes in wraithe and instead she wrote her self something elese , thise make me feel so devastated , discouraged and upset . Some days passed , and I run a college and share with her my feelings , and she told me ¨think outside the box , she is a human , our past experiences shape the way we behave in our present ; one principal role working with international members is to help each other understand our cultural differences ” . Insight & Approach After that I satared to learn more about my own culture and that is how I came with the idea of map the different cultures from a book I read “ The culture map ” Its only when you start to identify what makes your culture different from others that you can begin to open a dialoge of sharing , learning and ultimately understanding- Erin Mayers . After that , I had a deep , meaningful conversation with my manager bringing these differences , and after that , our communication and collaboration have to improve . I use my manager ’s experience to use storytelling and get the approval to launch this project . It was an open eye for many teams that had used the tool after we launched the activity .

INSTRUMENTAL Challenge : Many of the teenagers have a passion of learning music instruments . But it ’s not possible for all of them , because they need to travel till that institute . They also need to fix their timings . Every student has their own pace to learn but they ca n’t follow that as they are in a group . Selection : I have selected to launch a music learning app “ INSTRUMENTAL ” . An application can very easily solve all the problems written above like : 1 ) Eliminating the travel time 2 ) Option to set their Flexible timing 3 ) Can learn at their own pace as they can watch a video n number of times Application : For eliminating travel time , we have online tutors . So they do n’t need to travel . They are also given a choice to select their own timings when as it ’s a hobby and should not combine with the main part of your career . They can increase or decrease the speed of the lecture and also the application will calculate their progress and give them suitable recommendations . The application also looks very attractive and is also user friendly so none of the age group gets bored . Insight : After applying all these options for better learning , we observe that music learners are increasing day by day . Most of them did n’t show much interest in learning music because of the problems stated above in challenges . Approach : As the application is in the starting stage , a trial version will be released . It will obviously have lot of bugs and glitches . These bugs and glitches will be rectified in the coming versions . And also , soon we will launch exciting offers to attract more customers .

Challenge I am currently an undergraduate sophomore student and a member of the Undergraduate Business Association ( UBA ) events committee . Our challenge is finding ways to improve student engagement in our Zoom meetings during the covid-19 pandemic . In our in - person meetings before quarantine , students were able to engage with one another by chatting with new people , grabbing food , meeting with guest speakers or club officers , and participating in giveaways and raffles . The interactions made the meetings lively but after the transition to online meetings , the atmosphere felt dull . We needed to improve the environment of our meetings fast in order to keep students and guest speakers interested while retaining and increasing membership . Selection Our team decides to use the Learning Launch tool as we have already used the mind mapping tool to identify common themes and patterns that made the meetings uninteresting , which I will elaborate on in the next section . Learning Launches are small , cheap experiments where we are able to test our ideas and determine if they should be continued . We already answered the three questions : What is ? What if ? and What wows ? . Now , we are ready to move to the final stage , What works ? and test the tool in our live meetings . Application Our first step is identifying the problems in our online meetings from our mind maps . We conclude that the lack of students turning their cameras on made it awkward for guest speakers to have closer connections with the audience and the lack of interactions between students made it difficult to develop friendly relationships . Our first learning launch is to encourage students to turn on their cameras by stating the task in emails and asking them to turn on their cameras during the meeting . When students turn on their cameras , they are more likely to pay attention instead of doing other tasks off screen such as scrolling through their phones . Next , we implement break out rooms before the meeting begins to allow students to introduce themselves and interact with one another . A club officer is placed into one of the breakout rooms to encourage conversation or icebreakers , which are games intended for people to introduce one another . Our next learning launch is engaging the audience throughout the presentation . We use zoom ’s tools such as “ raise hands ” and polls throughout the meetings to ensure the audience was actively listening . The polls ranged from questions on the presentation slides to icebreaker or fun questions . In addition , we have a live Q&A portion at the end of meetings where students are able to directly ask questions to the speaker through their microphone . When students ask their questions through the microphone instead of text , the speakers are less likely to misinterpret the question . Insight At the end of the meeting , we emailed surveys to ask students for their feedback . From the results , many students enjoyed the new tools we implemented as it made the meeting more interesting . Furthermore , several students recommended that we can continue our giveaways by holding virtual raffles and have prizes such as an online gift card . From our learning launches , the insights we gained were the need to have great teamwork and student feedback . Working as a team is important to keep the meetings lively from encouraging conversations in break - out rooms to planning the schedule of the meeting to stay within the time frame . Feedback from the students were huge in ensuring that membership wo n’t drop while providing us new ways to improve such as the online raffles . This led me to think that collaboration and customer feedback is essential in the Design Thinking process . Working as a team helps generate new ideas while customer feedback helps with improvement . Approach Due to the success of the Learning Launch tool , our team would continue to utilize the tool as we strive to improve our meetings . Instead of relying only on zoom tools , we will try different alternatives such as using Poll Everywhere or Kahoot . Members may get bored of the meetings if they seem redundant , which is why experimenting with new tools would keep them interested and help us improve by finding new ways to interact with them . In addition , we can also try different online - meeting platforms such as Google Meets to determine which platform is more efficient .

Mind Mapping - Returning to Universidad San Francisco de Quito During the Time of COVID-19 Challenge : COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11 , 2020 . During that time , Universidad San Francisco de Quito students were off campus and on spring break . In the interest of safety , Hellen Keller Institute decided to suspend its residential program and in - class courses . Following spring break , all Spring 2019 courses were completed remotely via Zoom and Google classroom . On Tuesday , May 26 , Hellen Keller Institute ’s President , Sean Decatur , updated students with information regarding the 2020 - 2021 school year . He shared that Hellen Keller Institute is currently planning to hold in- person classes and continue their residential program beginning August 27th . Many adjustments to campus life will need to be made , so as to adhere to social distancing guidelines and maintain a healthy college campus . Selection : In order to take a design thinking approach to this challenge , it ’s important to begin with the mind mapping tool . Mind mapping addresses the “ what is ” question and helps find patterns that might allow for more creative solutions . The data accumulated can then be used with future design thinking tools to come up with creative solutions for Universidad San Francisco de Quito . Unlike lengthy spreadsheets and reports , mind mapping is accessible to students , professors , and administrators alike . Application : The following page contains the mind map created to ask the what if portion of the question , How to Return 9 Universidad San Francisco de Quito During the Time of Covid-19 . Given the current circumstances , I was n’t able to get as many perspectives as I would have liked . Ideally , mind maps are created by larger groups of people , so as to get a wide range of perspectives and insights . However , the mind map was very effective in categorizing Hellen Keller Institute ’s data and considering what will need further strategic thought before students are welcomed back on campus . I began the mind map by writing down as many Universidad San Francisco de Quito related activities , traditions , responsibilities , and locations as possible , and some problems that might arise with each . I then asked some of my fellow Hellen Keller Institute students to do the same . Once we combined our lists and took out any duplicates , I was able to separate them into district categories : community entertainment , on campus restaurants / meeting places , classes , dining hall ( Peirce ) , and housing . Returning to Universidad San Francisco de Quito during the time of Covid-19 Dining Hall ( Peirce ) Limited hours , so lots of people are there at any given time ( closed at 8 pm ) Most food stations are self - serve Only one dining hall included in mandatory student meal plan Housing All Hellen Keller Institute students live on campus Limited single rooms Shared bathrooms Classes Elderly and immunocompromised professors might don'r feel comfortable teaching with students in the room Hellen Keller Institute is known for their classroom discussions , which is challenging in online classes Only bathrooms are cleaned by professionals Community/ Entertainment Traditions First year sing Senior sing Events Summer Sendoff Spring festival A capella concerts Comedy show Gund Gallery events ( approx . 100 students attend late night events & ~60 student workers ) Hellen Keller Institute Review readings ( also ~75 student workers ) Clubs / Organizations Greek Life ( 7 national fraternities , 3 local sororities , 1 national sorority , & 1 coed service society at Hellen Keller Institute ) Academic and educational groups Religious and spiritual groups ( Hillel , Canterbury , CCO , Humanist Association , & Newman Club ) Limited seating in dining hall Media and publication groups Student government Political groups Sports and recreational teams Small classes ( 10:1 student - faculty ratio ) Walking on the same side of the " Gates of Hell , " does not allow for 6 ft separation ( social distancing guidlines ) Harry Potter Day Late Night Breakfasts Activities fair Signing the Matriculation Book ( for all Freshman ) Opening Convocation ( for all Freshman ) A � nity Groups ( Crozier , Unity , & Snowden ) On campus restaurants/ meeting places Village Inn Chillitos Hellen Keller Institute Inn Wiggin Coffee Unorganized Socializing North Campus Apartment parties All campus parties Private parties Day - time parties Insight : By applying the mind mapping tool , I was able to identify Hellen Keller Institute events and norms that involve large group participation that I might have otherwise forgotten . For example , separately considering Hellen Keller Institute traditions is very important so as to maintain the feeling of Hellen Keller Institute on campus , while also creating a safe environment amidst COVID-19 . Before approaching this problem with design thinking and creating the mind map , I was incredibly overwhelmed by the data and its possibilities . Moving forward , I would like to review the data accumulated and then use other design thinking tools to answer the what if , what wows , and what works questions . Approach : Given the vast amount of changes that Hellen Keller Institute will need to make to allow students to return for the 2016 - 2013 school year , mind mapping is the most appropriate tool to begin the process . As I previously mentioned , the large amount of data had to first be organized , before generating new ideas . Next steps may include storytelling and learning launches .

Returning to Universidad San Francisco de Quito during the time of Covid-19 Dining Hall ( Peirce ) Limited hours , so lots of people are there at any given time ( closed at 8 pm ) Most food stations are self - serve Only one dining hall included in mandatory student meal plan Housing All Hellen Keller Institute students live on campus Limited single rooms Shared bathrooms Classes Elderly and immunocompromised professors might don'r feel comfortable teaching with students in the room Hellen Keller Institute is known for their classroom discussions , which is challenging in online classes Only bathrooms are cleaned by professionals Community/ Entertainment Traditions First year sing Senior sing Events Summer Sendoff Spring festival A capella concerts Comedy show Gund Gallery events ( approx . 100 students attend late night events & ~60 student workers ) Hellen Keller Institute Review readings ( also ~75 student workers ) Clubs / Organizations Greek Life ( 7 national fraternities , 3 local sororities , 1 national sorority , & 1 coed service society at Hellen Keller Institute ) Academic and educational groups Religious and spiritual groups ( Hillel , Canterbury , CCO , Humanist Association , & Newman Club ) Limited seating in dining hall Media and publication groups Student government Political groups Sports and recreational teams Small classes ( 10:1 student - faculty ratio ) Walking on the same side of the " Gates of Hell , " does not allow for 6 ft separation ( social distancing guidlines ) Harry Potter Day Late Night Breakfasts Activities fair Signing the Matriculation Book ( for all Freshman ) Opening Convocation ( for all Freshman ) A � nity Groups ( Crozier , Unity , & Snowden ) On campus restaurants/ meeting places Village Inn Chillitos Hellen Keller Institute Inn Wiggin Coffee Unorganized Socializing North Campus Apartment parties All campus parties Private parties Day - time parties Insight : By applying the mind mapping tool , I was able to identify Hellen Keller Institute events and norms that involve large group participation that I might have otherwise forgotten . For example , separately considering Hellen Keller Institute traditions is very important so as to maintain the feeling of Hellen Keller Institute on campus , while also creating a safe environment amidst COVID-19 . Before approaching this problem with design thinking and creating the mind map , I was incredibly overwhelmed by the data and its possibilities . Moving forward , I would like to review the data accumulated and then use other design thinking tools to answer the what if , what wows , and what works questions . Approach : Given the vast amount of changes that Hellen Keller Institute will need to make to allow students to return for the 2016 - 2013 school year , mind mapping is the most appropriate tool to begin the process . As I previously mentioned , the large amount of data had to first be organized , before generating new ideas . Next steps may include storytelling and learning launches . ### Output:

Design Thinking for Innovation Reflection – Visualization Challenge The challenge I am facing is related to a project identified as very high priority by the leadership team of my company , an IT business delivering communication solutions to our customers . These customers are typically businesses and government agencies that sometimes have multiple locations around the world . These communication solutions are charged monthly to the customers with an overage depending on the volume of minutes or data exchanged . Naturally , customers are looking to track their usage to make sure they understand how their employees use our services , would it be to track minutes called , megabytes of data exchanged , etc . and possibly readjust their contract with us if they constantly overuse or underuse our services . The problem at hand is the following : we need a state - of - the - art customer portal , for them to track different metrics related to their usage of the communication service and possibly offer other conveniences such as service configuration management , incident tracking , document library , etc . Multiple meetings were already held to determine what this portal needed to include , how it is going to look and how the information would be conveyed to the customers . With long discussions came confusion around the solution we were working towards and what we were actually working on in each of these meetings . Selection With this challenge in mind , I decided to build a workshop where I would use visualization to help the audience align their vision and thoughts on the same solution as everyone else in the room . Visualization is the tool I identified to be the perfect fit for this project , because it helps : 1 . Understanding the problem and having the same understanding as everyone else in the room ; 2 . Idea generation , since everyone can see exactly the solution being worked on and can identify missing elements , flaws or underexploited strengths ; and 3 . Testing the solution with actors from outside the project so they understand very quickly , with minimal support , what is the product being worked on . Application Having selected my tool , I was ready to apply it in the workshop context . I applied large sheets of paper on a meeting room wall and identified each sheet as a customer portal section e.g. “ Real - time Dashboard ” , “ Service Configuration ” , “ Analytics ” , “ Document Repository ” , etc . Then , I cut letter - sized sheets into 4 pieces and wrote elements of each portal section on them which I then stuck to the relevant section with gum tack . For example , 1 of the pieces of paper looked like this : It was placed on the sheet “ Real - time Dashboard ” . I did so for all the other elements already identified by the project team and then started my workshop with the whole team . This tool really worked well as everyone in the room was aligned on the same solution and we could make changes and modifications on the fly while seeing the impacts on the final solution right in front of our eyes . We would write on the different elements or add post - its to the different sections and elements to explain our points and visualize ideas brought up by the different participants . It also kept the workshop very active as people did n’t just stay in their chair listening or talking , they were physically involved in the project . There was a great energy level throughout the whole workshop . It was probably the most productive workshop we had on this project . We ended up generating more than 40 new ideas which could range from new elements on the portal to simple modifications or improvements over elements we had already identified . The following meetings on this project always had these large sheets of paper with us in the room and became a great support for the whole team and even for the subsequent steps , when we were designing the real portal . Insight and Approach Following this project , I quickly understood how Visualization , and Design Thinking as a whole , was crucial for the type of projects I had to lead . At the time , I was not aware I was doing Design Thinking , but now , I am able to put a name on the tool I used . It helped me ( and the project team ) so much that now I do not hesitate to use the same kind of methods when designing a new product or even when trying to improve a well - established product . It made gray areas much easier to navigate , and even fun sometimes ! I now understand how I should have used Visualization much earlier , even at the beginning of the project . I feel like we have lost so much time with the initial meetings than led to nothing ( or not much ) , just discussions on top of discussions with very few valuable ideas . If I had to do it all again , I would have used visualization right after my kick - off meeting . What is interesting now is that I also see how the Storytelling tool would have helped me in the development of my customer portal . I could have roleplayed different types of customers , try to immerse myself into what they needed and developed these needs into requirements . It will be interesting to test that approach in one of my future projects . Site X – Status ( Active or Inactive ) Monthly minutes used : XX min Monthly data used : XX MB

Reflection on mind mapping Challenge & Selection As a Master student in design and innovation , I use the mind mapping tool very frequently , in order to generate ideas , whether it 's for creating an innovative product , to enhance it , or to find solution to problematic situation . It does not only help me to generate ideas but also to synthesize them . It ’s a diagram where you organize information visually in hierarchical way , it also reveal the relationship between the ideas generated and the single concept that we try to deal with in the center . There ideas that are connected directly to the central concept , while other are branch out from those ideas . During this Master I had to do a lot of projects , one of the main ones is a project on circular economy . The subject is to work on the circular economy in a district of the city where I 'm doing my master 's degree . The aim is to raise awareness among the inhabitants of the district about ecology and sustainable development . Other members of the group and I decided to implement the design thinking approach to do this project . Application Before to start generating concepts and Ideas , we first had go through an empathy phase where we gathered enough data , we started by looking for the concepts , identifying the stakeholders and interviewing them … then we defined the problematic as clearly as possible . And last but not least , we started the ideate phase by generating concepts , we started by writing the problematic in the middle and thinking about the activities where we can use different resources , that are all located in one district , these are the resources we gathered during empathy phase , we thought about the links between our stakeholders and the places that can be exploited in that district , little by little , Ideas began to emerge , and we land on some very interesting concepts and solutions . One of the stakeholders that we have identified in the resourcing phase are , a retirement home and a kindergarten , we have thought about engaging both them in an activity where they can do something that is ecology related , to raise the kids awareness about the subject . After more investigation we have found that the retirement home has some garden the elderly people can do some gardening . Insight The mind mapping tool allowed us to organize the data in different solutions , it also helped organize the different stakeholders we had , and draw links between them , and these links were the keys to the emerging ideas . We were able to have a global and simplified vision of the situation . Approach I think mind mapping one of the very most important tools in the design thinking approach , it ’s not only a tool to generate ideas but also to organize the gathered data . During the project we were limited in the exploration of this tool , which we could go much deeper such as making different mind maps for different solution until finding the most optimized solution .

Challenge : I am a member of Controller ’s Shared services organization ( CSSO ) in a Financial Services Company leading the Data practice . We as an organization have been through Ways of Working , which has deep roots in Lean Management principles . One of our challenges is to provide visibility into the data relevant to the accounting close process along with the quality of the data . The information is quite disparate and has varying level of granularity , making it difficult to shift through all the information to be able to provide the correct insight into the data for our customers ( Accounting Operations ) . Selection : Our team has gone through numerous iterations of prototyping using Lean Principles to provide visualization to the customers on the accounting close process . However , the customers were not as engaged and did not use the tools consistently , resulting in low morale and engagement . So , the team decided to try the learning launch tool , to provide the customers a prototype at the earliest , rather than waiting for full baked solution - set , there by embracing the learning launch to ideate and prototype to get an early read and active engagement . Application : As our first learning launch , we focused on the mode of requirement gathering . In particular , the team sat down with the customers of various levels to better understand the needs as it relates to the transparency into the accounting close process . We chose one particular area rather than cast a wide net across all of controllers . This helped us to hone in on the specific need of one area . Next we built a quick prototype- a visualization using Tableau report that could drill down to the varying levels of details . We shared the report with different levels of the customers and received instant feedback on the likes and dislikes . The team was able to incorporate the same and turn around within couple of days . The team did one final roadshow and received buy - in to roll out the visualization into production . As part of the roadshow , we included other areas of the Accounting Operations teams to solicit feedback and engage early on to receive feedback . This led to the development of foundational framework to engage and respond to our customers ’ needs more timely and effectively . Our second learning launch was focused more on making data factual and tangible . To this effect , we looked into remediating the quality of the data being received by the accounting systems . While we have successfully built adequate data controls to identify data quality issues prior to running the accounting processes , they are all detective controls and occur quite late in the process . As part of the learning launch tool , we selected 25 rules that had triggered in the last year and had caused delays in the accounting close . We then leveraged the enterprise data lineage tool to trace all of the data hops of the data to clearly identify the failure points . We conducted a workshop with all of the upstream data providers and the downstream data consumers to highlight the issues and their implications . We were able to describe the need for the quality checks upfront and get buy - in from the data providers to implement the rules at the system of record , prior to the vend . In the process , we also were able get full support from our stakeholders on the work being done around data lineage , getting to our mission of making data more factual and tangible . Insight : By leveraging and applying the learning launch tool in 2 unique scenarios , our team was able to clarify assumptions and create workable solutions that delighted our customers . Through the process , we were able to demystify the need for a perfect solution , rather build out using an iterative approach , which in turn resulted in delighted customers . The customers truly enjoyed the level of engagement and saw the solution set as a continuous improvement process rather than an end product . The CSSO team morale greatly improved as they received kudos from the customers for timely response and effective communication . Approach : After being trained in Lean management principles , the team has found a great balance in using the learning launch tool to connect better with the customers and provide solutions - set more frequently and timely . The team is motivated and fully engaged to roll - out the learning launch as a tool for all future customer facing solutions .

Challenge I am working in an association that supports cluster of technology startups to grow and expand their businesses despite the national economic and political context . In a highly competitive environment and globally connedted world where technology is rapidly changing , a key aspect for success is to empower the startups with appropriate skilled labor in response to the potential demand . For that , designed programs of capacity building through international certifications , training courses and coaching are being implemented to upskill the workers and increase freelancing and outsourcing opportunities as cre part of our association ’s strategy . The second key aspect is to have access to markets . The local market limitations and potentials are pushing the startups , entrepreneurs and freelancers to use their talents and skills for external market penetration which could drive better opportunities for youth and startups and thus enhancing the economic opportunities and job creation with more 70 % of youth unemployed in my country in 2018 . The main challenge here is to drift our association ’s strategy from focusing on the technical assistance and capacity building only towards the inclusion of market penetration and readiness . Selection To gain the buy - in from our stakeholders , I have decided to use visualization tool with appropriate data . Visualization tool is vital to represent the data in context , provide better insights that could easily attract the understanding of participants and to get them more interactive about the approach . Application To gather the needed data , I have first made a desk review of the available studies that analyze the demand and supply sides with future recommendations . Based on its findings , I have also shared a survey with the startups to have more insights about their current products and services , the markets that they are trying to penetrate , what channels did they use to approach new business opportunities and others . Then , I have invited the startups to a focus group with our board of directors and started to visualize the results and the roadmap . I have shared an end - to - end approach of how capacity building which is our current focus is the base for the next breakthrough of market penetration showing the relationship between the two components . Having the appropriate know - how is vital for businesses but without the appropriate tools for creating business linkages , there is a missing piece in the puzzle . I have then shared more visualized figures about the key findings of the survey , the interest of the startups , their current potential and linked it with the opportunities available that I checked from the desk review . The group of stakeholders were impressed by the findings , they have started to discuss the idea in depth . Some startups as well have started to share their stories in details . The board of directors then approved the new concept and decided to include it in our new strategy . Insights The use of visualization tool was of great help to share and the show the ideas and initial findings in an understandable and interactive way . Understanding the whole picture and digging deeply into the various steps and their results have highly attracted the participants . Approach For the next , I think that I would apply journey mapping as well to the ideation and understanding what is status . I can gain more insights about the process which would increase the understanding of the needs .

Application To gather the needed data , I have first made a desk review of the available studies that analyze the demand and supply sides with future recommendations . Based on its findings , I have also shared a survey with the startups to have more insights about their current products and services , the markets that they are trying to penetrate , what channels did they use to approach new business opportunities and others . Then , I have invited the startups to a focus group with our board of directors and started to visualize the results and the roadmap . I have shared an end - to - end approach of how capacity building which is our current focus is the base for the next breakthrough of market penetration showing the relationship between the two components . Having the appropriate know - how is vital for businesses but without the appropriate tools for creating business linkages , there is a missing piece in the puzzle . I have then shared more visualized figures about the key findings of the survey , the interest of the startups , their current potential and linked it with the opportunities available that I checked from the desk review . The group of stakeholders were impressed by the findings , they have started to discuss the idea in depth . Some startups as well have started to share their stories in details . The board of directors then approved the new concept and decided to include it in our new strategy . Insights The use of visualization tool was of great help to share and the show the ideas and initial findings in an understandable and interactive way . Understanding the whole picture and digging deeply into the various steps and their results have highly attracted the participants . Approach For the next , I think that I would apply journey mapping as well to the ideation and understanding what is status . I can gain more insights about the process which would increase the understanding of the needs . ### Output:

Using Mind Mapping Tools There may be many different tools in generation ideas as Visualization , Story Telling , Mind Mapping and Learning Launch . From most of them , my preference to use in generating ideas and thoughts by using Mind mapping Tool . Mind mapping is the great tools of organizing your thoughts and ideas if you are a visual learner . It is also alike a road map which can helps you in looking for patterns and insights in a large quantity of data you collected during your exploration . Mind mapping is in a picture form to represent ideas and concepts . By focusing on key ideas and looking for links between them , you can ‘ map ’ knowledge that will help you better understand , retain and organize information . They are also used for ‘ brainstorming ’ However , the challenges of using mind mapping tools for me is in drawing skill . Also mind mapping is not unprofessional to present in some meeting and limited information . Sometime , it may takes more time than regular noting down . On the other side , mind mapping is very supportive for creative thinking which can easily transforming your ideas into visualization , more enjoyable and much better in visibility . When I applied the mind mapping tools in building the strategy of my business , I was enjoyed in thinking and convert to mind mapping diagram . Also mind mapping tools seem like a kid staff but very useful in converting into visualization . It is more efficient in generating creative ideas . In order to more effective in using mind mapping tools , I will collect the ideas by using idea boards with sticky note , idea roadmap journey , and drawing patterns to gain more ideas and thoughts from my team and myself in especially building in strategy to achieve the organization goals

Project Time Management – Learning Launch Tool Challenge and Selection A construction business has to deal with a lot of important and time - consuming works all together that it becomes had to manage the staff and the resources to complete the project under a given period of time . The problems could affect in lack of productivity and time of completion due to lack of project management and resource management – both human and materials . To solve the problem , one must first analyze on what are the necessary factors that needs to be checked to complete the project in time . Data could be collected from the previous projects and also from other companies of similar working capacity that follow a proper project management and understand the different strategies that could be applied to improve and increase the productivity . Application Data collection could be managed by a team of people to make sure the right amount of quality and quantity data can be sourced such that it does not include any bias and also helps to provide more data within the least amount of time possible as larger samples of data helps in understanding the overall issues and bottlenecks within the project that is preventing maximum efficiency in completing the project . It will also help in removing the bias including the conformation bias when producing an idea . In the initial stages the team could put themselves in the shoes of both the clients as well as the workers to understand what is required and what helps in providing better ideas to improve the time within which the work can be completed . Producing ideas from the data collected will help in eliminating the dependency on averages and guess works which would reduce efficiency in managing the project and resources in time . Even in each of the project the improvements and updates can be noted as more the data that can be studied , more efficient the ideas that could be developed out of it . A general guideline can also be formed on how many workers are necessary to do a particular function in a given and what are the material requirements to complete the work and also the minimum required materials in case of lack of storage facilities . It will work as a progressive improvement as the requirements of each projects varies with the previous project . Following such a method of Launch Tool will help in performing experiments with the data that make sure that the observations and experiments are in a way that the results and ideas that could be formed by it is in a way that is faster as well as cheaper . Insight and Approach Data is collected in a particular manner that helps in understanding and clearing the key assumptions that are formed and also through the process find out which among them works best for the company and later finalize the assumptions through fast and cheap tests and experiments conforming the efficiency of the ideas which will improve the management of projects and the time required . The developed ideas are then used to in a faster and an organized construction which will also help in boosting the efficiency of the company and also help in providing a better name and standard in the industry . It also helps in having an edge over other companies of the same nature by improved competition time completion standards . The tests helped to identify what they do n’t know also understanding in what areas there is a need to obtain more information or data to provide the values for the variables which could finding the right innovative idea .

Reflection – Learning Launch Challenge I am Agile Coach with the mission to support the Agile journey for non - IT operations in a bank . My favorite project is Onboarding new colleagues . The challenge we were given was to decrease the staff turnover in their first year in the company from 27 % to maximum 5 % . Therefore , we started to look at the end - to - end journey of our new colleague from job searching to end of probation period . Based on what we discovered during What is & What if steps we created the project vision : to make our new colleague excited and happy to BE involved and FEEL engaged in our organization where he / she BELONGS ! The initial estimation of 1.0 MEUR / year regarding the impact created by the decrease of staff turnover from 27 % to 5 % changed to 2.3 MEUR / year as we figured out that , by implementing the project vision , we can decrease the burnout risk for the entire organization and the time - to - market product launch while increasing the work - life balance . Now the challenge became how we , as organization , could be able to create & deliver a consistent experience throughout the entire journey . How can we make sure all stakeholders involved in the process HR , Hiring Managers , Buddies , new colleague teams and from other departments would behave in a manner that creates a sustainable and consistent onboarding experience for our new colleagues ? Selection We prototyped tool kits for different stakeholders and we wanted to test our key assumptions : stakeholders are aligned , the tools are relevant for the experience they want to create and they are user friendly , so we do n’t need to build up a complex training plan to support the new onboarding experience . Another thing that we wanted is to shorten the feedback loop . Therefore , we decided to go for a Learning launch : a series of workshops with representatives from each stakeholder ’s category and a trial period . Based on Ed Hess Learning launch process presentation , we stated our hypothesis in the project vision , we made our key assumptions , we prioritized the tool kits to confirm during the workshops and the trial period the stakeholders got what they need to create the sustainable and consistent onboarding experience . Application We decided to apply the Learning launch tool in two steps : 1 . Lab conditions : invite the stakeholders in workshops to get acquainted with the tools and test them 2 . Real life conditions : to apply the tool kits in creating experiences for new colleagues . For the first step , we set a target group : managers , buddies and helpers who have in the next three months new colleagues to onboard . We had 70 people in the target group : 20 managers , 20 buddies and 30 helpers and we organized seven 4 hours - workshops , 10 participants / workshop . The purpose was to give enough time to each participant to test the tool kits and to tell us what works and what does n’t work . Each tool had an introduction , a description and detailed instructions on how to use it . We expected to get from the workshops a good - to - be - used tool kit for each stakeholder category . For the second step , we focused on gaining feedback from real life application of the tools in creating the onboarding experience of the new colleagues . The purpose was to shorten as much as possible the feedback loop by mirroring the experiences from all actors involved new colleagues , their managers , buddies , helpers and HR . Although the entire process took three months , covering the probation period , each tool was assessed at the time it was used . In this way , the feedback loop / tool amounted for maximum three days . Insight By applying the learning launch tool in two steps , we learned two lessons : 1 . Although each tool kit was relevant in itself , the entire package led to decision paralysis . We were asked to figure out a way to deliver the right tool kit at the right moment . 2 . “ Less is more ” is an universal principle : keep all materials at instructions – HOW to – levels in bullets ; for those who need or want more , offer references and links to a document library Therefore , the main insight of the Learning launch was the tool kits are useful only if they follow the Just in Time principle : to offer only the needed information at the right time and in the right quantity . Approach We chose this approach because we wanted to get a not altered or influenced feedback by stakeholder ’s competence in creating the experience for the new colleagues . Based on the insights we gained from the first step of the learning launch we integrated the tool kits in a Micro - learning platform and we created a journey for each stakeholder category , giving them the right tool , written at “ HOW to ” level , at the right moment . Practically , using this approach , we were able to respond fast to the stakeholders ’ needs . It gave us the opportunity to fail fast and cheap , by testing one tool kit at a time . Using other tools – like surveys – could keep us blind for three months , as no one would be happy to answer to surveys on a weekly basis . A survey is a one - way communication while Learning launch is very interactive , giving us the space and time to understand at a deeper level the feedback we received . So we thought that Learning launch is the most appropriate tool to use at that step of the project .

Online gaming Challenge & Selection Online gaming is a great platform for all kind of people . I work with different kind of people from different background , culture , interest and age . Majority of the population from young teenager kids . I spend a lot of time “ understanding the interest ” of different people from different age and different social environment . When I work with aged people , Often they 're lonely or not mixed with grandchildren but would like to do . When I worked with young kids they also would like to mix up with their parents or grandparents but not having common interest . I use their feedback against the context of my gaming concept to better understand their interests and thought processes . Application During discussion with gaming development team , I explained them the benefits of having more client focused approach which allows interaction within family across ages can be unique proposition in business model . In spite of targeting only the youth develop the games where family can sit together and socialize together . I explained them the benefits of taking a more client focused approach , among other things , and of recognizing each individual as a unique being and addressing their individual needs first and foremost . Company was struggling to have more consumers / customers and its customers were not able to get new gaming experience . This also talks about the how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can impact everyone for the better , even if it seems extreme or out of the ordinary . Insight & Approach Well , wow , that was an eye - opener for the team . I shared a experience with team where I interacted a family of 6 people where grandparents used to mix with friends form old age homes , kids are spending time with online games and parents are busy in their office or other activity at home . They all together get very less time and less common topic for discussion . However we proposed a concept where whole family can participate as team and can play with each other as well . This was unique idea and worked really well . Family spent good quality time together and increasing the bond among them . So I told this story to the development team , and I think it had a big impact on team member there . The gaming development concept / roadmap are being reevaluated and created new roadmap & strategy This course made me see this as a tool in a unique way . For all new unique problems , I can prepare myself and create stories that will assist me in selling my ideas in best way . I have a design background , but I ended up as an entrepreneur in business . I had no idea this would ever be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is !

Reflection – Storytelling CHALLENGE With this project , I aim to coordinate the community ’s efforts to help neighbors in the context of social distancing amidst Covid-19 . Specifically , I want to explore how elderly neighbors can get access to the help they need within the community . The community I am focusing on is located in the apartment complex I live in ( twelve renting parties , some of which live with family members , some alone ) . The apartment complex is located in a large city with a population of 3,7 million , so in general people are used to living with a certain degree of anonymity . When Covid-19 broke out and the government first introduced social distancing measures , many were eager to help neighbors that are more vulnerable , specifically the elderly and those with underlying health conditions . Neighbors would offer their help with everyday errands such as grocery shopping , walking dogs etc . These efforts were offered in a closed Facebook group . I noticed that there were plenty of offers available , but hardly any takers , which was not surprising to me , based on my assumption that the elderly , a large group of those who require help , oftentimes struggle with technology and information access online . Additionally , as I mentioned earlier , we live in a large city with anonymity between different tenants - interactions on a day - to - day basis are limited to greeting each other when running into one another in the hallway . In an environment as such , community building is already challenging under normal circumstances . With social distancing in place , it becomes even more difficult . SELECTION I chose the storytelling tool as its main aim is to create empathy , which I believed to be most suitable when trying to connect people of different age groups , backgrounds and circumstances . By telling a personal story of my grandmother ’s experience during the pandemic , I had hope to achieve two things : Firstly , I wanted to help those offering their help with little to no responses to identify how to distribute the offers more appropriately . Secondly , telling the story of my grandmother may help those on the receiving end - in this case , the elderly neighbors – tell their story to further help identify how to help them in the difficult times we are facing . The Good Kitchen Story featured in the first week of the Coursera course “ Design Thinking for Innovation ” inspired me to look at the needs of elderly people , although the Design Thinking tools used in this particular project were others . Eventually , it was a TED talk on “ The magical science of storytelling ” by David JP Phillips with its focus on the positive scientific impact storytelling has that convinced me that this was the right tool to use to invite the community to empathize with one another . APPLICATION I applied the storytelling tool by telling the story of my grandmother ’s experiences during the course of the pandemic to the community . My grandmother is one of the many elderly people whose lives and daily routines have changed since the pandemic . While she used to be able to go out and buy her own groceries and have regular human interaction , local restrictions have prevented her from doing so since March . As a result , she spends most of her time watching TV and walking in the house . As she lives in a different city from mine of similar size , and as I was unable to travel , we asked a family friend to check in on her from time to time and buy groceries for her . When talking to my grandmother on the phone I was surprised to hear that she would mention our family friend coming by almost daily to drop off groceries . I found that strange , as surely there was a more practical way of doing shopping without having to stop by every day . I offered to have food delivered to my grandmother , which both her and our friend rejected . After speaking to my grandmother more regularly and piecing together the story , I came to realize that this was much more than errand running on both sides . By spending most of her day watching TV , most my grandmother hears about are the negative impact the pandemic has had and continues to have on everyone . She is concerned and needs people around her who help her stay connected and process her feelings . While the digital age offers so many solutions to stay connected for those of us who are technology affine , my grandma had not been able to benefit from the many online resources , as she simply can not use a computer . As a result , my grandmother started a routine of cooking for the friend who would drop off groceries , who works during the day and does not have time to cook for herself . They would sit down together , share a meal and talk . What they have developed by now is a friendship , and the grocery shopping is just a pretext to continue seeing each other . I told the story of my grandmother to a group of eager community members , to kick off a brainstorm exercise . After realizing that running errands was only one aspect elderly people are struggling with , we explored what would need to be done to make the elderly feel more connected and less lonely . One of the ideas that we have started testing is simply calling the elderly neighbors and having conversations with them , and combining this with offering to run errands . Individual neighbors have started connecting with elderly community members to see if these phone calls are a positive way to connect . So far , the responses have been positive . The other learning the story illustrated was that elderly people who need to be contacted offline rather than in an online space which many might not be able to access . We are currently addressing this by printing relevant pamphlets and distributing them within our apartment building . INSIGHT Applying the storytelling tool helped shift the focus of the challenge I was aiming to fix to what is a more pressing issue , which also needs to be addressed . I initially thought the issues with the coordination of help was mostly of administrative nature , and the problem could be solved by presenting the offers of help in a different form or space . The above story of my grandmother illustrates that while running errands for elderly people is a nice gesture , the underlying issue elderly people may be facing in this difficult period is a different one : Experiencing isolation and loneliness in times of great uncertainty . While this may be a common issue for elderly people in large cities such as mine in “ normal ” times , the pandemic and constant media coverage may now have an even greater negative impact on their mental health . The storytelling tool therefore helped uncover the underlying issue of isolation of the most vulnerable during the pandemic . Since talking to my grandmother more regularly to understand her story , I have gained a heightened sense of the emotional toll this pandemic has had on many who are already vulnerable under normal circumstances . Retelling the story invites others to understand and consider a view different to their own . Of course telling the story of one person comes with its limitations : I realize that my grandmother is not a perfect representation of every elderly person in the building . However , is does illustrate that solutions need to be made with the individual person on the receiving end in mind . APPROACH During the course of the project , I realized that this was only the first step in a larger effort of building community . I found that applying the storytelling tool encourages broadening the scope of this project by hearing and telling the stories of our community members . I would like to continue by further relying on the storytelling tool as I could see the positive effect sharing a story has on building trust and empathy . I would expand the scope of the project by asking members of the community -my neighbors- to share their story after offering mine . This would give us a better insight as to what specific issues individuals in our community face , and eventually help identify a way to tackle their specific problems . I imagine that by using the storytelling tool and inviting others to use it and share their stories and insights , we may be able to connect people of different generations , bring in fresh perspective and build the basis of a solid community that supports one another during the pandemic but also in post - pandemic times .

Specifically , I want to explore how elderly neighbors can get access to the help they need within the community . The community I am focusing on is located in the apartment complex I live in ( twelve renting parties , some of which live with family members , some alone ) . The apartment complex is located in a large city with a population of 3,7 million , so in general people are used to living with a certain degree of anonymity . When Covid-19 broke out and the government first introduced social distancing measures , many were eager to help neighbors that are more vulnerable , specifically the elderly and those with underlying health conditions . Neighbors would offer their help with everyday errands such as grocery shopping , walking dogs etc . These efforts were offered in a closed Facebook group . I noticed that there were plenty of offers available , but hardly any takers , which was not surprising to me , based on my assumption that the elderly , a large group of those who require help , oftentimes struggle with technology and information access online . Additionally , as I mentioned earlier , we live in a large city with anonymity between different tenants - interactions on a day - to - day basis are limited to greeting each other when running into one another in the hallway . In an environment as such , community building is already challenging under normal circumstances . With social distancing in place , it becomes even more difficult . SELECTION I chose the storytelling tool as its main aim is to create empathy , which I believed to be most suitable when trying to connect people of different age groups , backgrounds and circumstances . By telling a personal story of my grandmother ’s experience during the pandemic , I had hope to achieve two things : Firstly , I wanted to help those offering their help with little to no responses to identify how to distribute the offers more appropriately . Secondly , telling the story of my grandmother may help those on the receiving end - in this case , the elderly neighbors – tell their story to further help identify how to help them in the difficult times we are facing . The Good Kitchen Story featured in the first week of the Coursera course “ Design Thinking for Innovation ” inspired me to look at the needs of elderly people , although the Design Thinking tools used in this particular project were others . Eventually , it was a TED talk on “ The magical science of storytelling ” by David JP Phillips with its focus on the positive scientific impact storytelling has that convinced me that this was the right tool to use to invite the community to empathize with one another . APPLICATION I applied the storytelling tool by telling the story of my grandmother ’s experiences during the course of the pandemic to the community . My grandmother is one of the many elderly people whose lives and daily routines have changed since the pandemic . While she used to be able to go out and buy her own groceries and have regular human interaction , local restrictions have prevented her from doing so since March . As a result , she spends most of her time watching TV and walking in the house .

Reflection on Visualisation Sk Rana Challenge I work in a Fintech company and provide specialised services to the financial institutions . My stakeholders are increasing facing challenges from their customers and increasing competition from their competitors . On top , the increasing regulatory requirements are adding to their woes . The complexity of their problems are overwhelming for me many times and bringing them together for a consensus is very challenging . I work to provide an innovative solution to their complex problems . Many times I meet a diverse group of stakeholders with a complex problem and a variety of wish lists and it becomes difficult to arrive at a shared understanding of their problem and the possible solution . In my current problem I was challenged to select only the functionalities which will enhance the user experience in using the financial tool while increasing the operational efficiencies and meeting the key performance indicators . Selection In the kick - off meeting I user PowerPoint presentation and did not have a good experience in engaging the participants . Many participants seemed to be un - interested with the bullet points . Incidentally I was attending the course of Lobina and found the usage of the tool visualisation suitable for my kind of problem to engage a large number of stakeholders . I followed the presentation of Angela Myer and came to know the benefits of using the tool . As I use big room planning sessions with many stakeholders , I selected visualisation tools to help my stakeholders define the scope and boundaries , the key elements and their inter - relations and finally agree on the list of problems to solve . Visualisation is important in my problem area to unlock the creative side of the brain of the stakeholders and to think in a nonverbal way to visually understand the problems . Therefore , I decided to use the visualisation tools more in my subsequent workshops to connect with my customers and have a common understanding of the problem and eventually build consensus . Application For the next workshop my target was to decide on the list of functionalities to work on and set a priority to them while getting consensus from the majority stakeholders . I started with gathering information available with my company and gathered further information by conducting interviews with the pilot stakeholders who intend to be the main users of the new service to be introduced to solve the problem . Before the workshop , I used visualisation tool to create graphical representation of the problem with the help of pictures and icons of real - life examples . I divided the participants into 4 groups with each group having maximum 5 members with similar area of interests . For each such group , based on their problem domain and interest area , I created big posters with the visual depiction of the problem . I had designated work areas for each group . During the workshop I gave each of them their poster and I found out that they were instantly connected with the posters and got engaged in discussing the problem . I challenged them with key questions to identify the missing elements in the picture , identify the entities and their relationships in the problem domain and encouraged them to directly update the picture and provide comments with sticky notes . While the groups were working and I was facilitating , I used the main common wall visible to all and started drawing the big picture of the problem with more details and used the key elements of the feedback from each group in the big picture . I also took photos , printed them and pasted them in the big picture . In the next session with the stakeholders , I asked each of them to vote on prioritizing the list of issues with the help of sticky notes and that way I built consensus on the list of issues to solve and their priority . Insight & Approach With the highly encouraging results of using the visualisation tools in the workshop , I decided to use the tool more often in the subsequent workshops . The visualisation tool helped my stakeholders listen to each other , find patterns and make connections and build consensus . Once the problem space was decided , I will organize additional workshops to engage the participants to visualize the future solution to solve the problem and to create possibilities for them to create values for their end users . Visualisation tools are rightly described as “ the mother of all design tools ” by Liedtka & Ogilvie as they are used in every stage of a Design Thinking process . With my first workshops where visualisation were used , I learnt that visualisation helped spark idea generation . I observed that the groups could build on top of each other ’s ideas by seeing what other groups are drawing , adding elements to their drawing or simply discussing the sketches . The revised graphic or the big picture I created on the common wall helped them reinforcing the understanding of the problem . Each group could see their inputs in the big picture . The usage of sketches and pictures helped unlocking their brain and helped them think in a non - verbal way and be creative in sharing their perspectives and develop shared insights of the problem space . That way with their shared insights I could build consensus . The visualisation helped them listen to each other , stimulate their thought process and encouraged them to draw their insights . The visualisation helped the participants in applying the skills of listening , thinking and drawing to learn from each other and work together in having shared insights in understanding the problem complexity , visualising the solution and create new possibilities . With the insights gained by using visualisation , I am now planning to use this important design thinking tool in other areas of customer engagements like ideation , testing with pilots , sales and marketing brainstorming sessions . I am strongly inclined to use the drawings created with the joint sessions with the stakeholders to display them in my office areas to encourage other teams to apply visualisation in their problem areas .

VISUALISATION CHALLENGES As a retiree on a hobby farm , I am determined to produce my own food and reduce energy consumption as much as I can . About a year ago I learned of a wonderful beehive invention that makes extraction of honey from the hive easy and harmless to both humans and bees . Without going into technical details , I will just mention that the honey extraction process in this new type of hive , does not involve disassembly of any major part of the hive ( the “ super ” box which is where the bees store the honey ) so the bees are calm throughout the entire process . However , the process also requires delicate pouring of the honey from the internal frames into jars ( located on a shelf outside the hive ) while tilting the hive in 5 degrees backward so the honey will flow into the back of the lower chamber of each frame . On the other hand , regularly , the hive should be slightly tilted forward to prevent rain entering the bee ’s entrance . Also , beekeeping requires regular observations and health checks of the “ brood ” frames ( where the bees raise the new generation ) as well as winter feeding of the bees . Overall , the challenges are frequent : Delicate work on hives that are located in difficult topography in bushland prone to bushfires and infested with termites ( the hive is made of timber ) and other insects ( Australia ) . Thus , ideally the hive should be installed high above the ground on a multi - purpose resistant legs , yet stable frame . I may add that when the “ brood ” and “ super ” boxes are full of bees and honey they weigh quite a lot . SELECTION My weekly routine includes swimming sessions ( very boring ) during which I practice my visualisation capabilities to design engineering solutions for my projects , be they large or small . In that process I manage to “ see ” the end product and even detailed parts , relevant sizes and the process of fabrication . I also think about cost effective methods for potential commercial fabrication . I always plan to build a prototype to test the efficiency and effectiveness of my imaginative visualisation . For the above challenge I decided to build a steel frame from square hollow sections reinforced in heavier steel at the bottom of the legs . The initial design was made a simple ‘ coffee table ’ like bottom frame with top frame that can rock forward / backward on 2 centre hinges . This design would achieve resistance to fires , termites , keep the centre of gravity ( CG ) low for stability and lift the hive high enough to enable easy work on both the “ brood ” and “ super ” boxes . APPLICATION Building a simple frame as described above was relatively straight forward process . I draft a sketch of the concept design on paper and then added dimensions by measuring the hive ( in 3 dimensions ) , adding comfortable working height to the bottom legs ( and other ergonomic features ) , as well as a rough calculation of the centre of gravity and I added horizontal steel plates to the bottom of the legs to compensate for the rough terrain . After I built the prototype I had to ask a friend ( who is a professional bee keeper ) to help me put the hive on the frame since it was too heavy for one person . Then we also tested the application of the top “ rocking ” frame which was working perfectly . We managed to check the health of the hive ( relatively complicated process ) while the top frame was tilted forward and then tilt the top frame backward to extract the honey . At the end of the day I received good feedback from my friend who gave me initial guidelines for the project and set the bench mark for practical success . INSIGHT While we were testing the first frame that I built , I realised that the frame could have been built differently and with few more features added to the original design . The test of the prototype achieved the original bench mark but it was n’t elegant enough : I realised that the hinges between the top frame and bottom stand were not as robust as I initially thought and the tilting process was too cumbersome . Generally , the process of visualisation of an engineering project is very effective in my case since there ’s no “ background noise ” . I do n’t have any interruptions from the environment of prolonged periods of concentration . I manage to ‘ visualise ’ scenarios in other planning activities i.e. meetings with family members ( which may be awkward at any given time ) and/or friends . I plan via visualisation ( usually while swimming ) detailed travel itineraries after elaborate studies of routes , destinations , flight / accommodation logistics , etc . Yet , with all the above said and extensive experience gained , it ’s obvious to me that good visualisation capabilities are never enough unless ‘ visualised concept ’ is tested : From vision to drafting , fabrication and prototyping ; or despite imagining the perfect meeting so as to be ready for surprises even when adhering to all relevant “ rules & regulations ” ; and visualising the ideal travel plan , including the need accommodate unexpected impediments ; things often turn out differently in their experiencing . Obviously , the human factor increases uncertainties even in the best visualisation process . APPROACH Hence , in the next few swimming sessions ( where most of my creative visualisation occurs ) , I “ designed ” a new version of the hive stand : Instead of top rocking frame I used the bottom stand as regular base to the hive and use telescopic square sections that protrude from the bottom legs upward at the front of the hive to tilt it backward . The mechanism that lifts up the tandem telescopic sections is located in the middle of the frame between the 4 legs and is accessible from the back of the stand – away from the bee ’s flight path . I also added simple features to enable supports for “ brood ” frames when conducting health checks to the hive . Clearly , the second prototype is more expensive due to more complicated fabrication and assembly processes but eventually more sophisticated and elegant to use . Basically , in the honey extraction process , all the user needs to do is to set the jars in place , push a lever to tilt the hive and the honey will flow .

I may add that when the “ brood ” and “ super ” boxes are full of bees and honey they weigh quite a lot . SELECTION My weekly routine includes swimming sessions ( very boring ) during which I practice my visualisation capabilities to design engineering solutions for my projects , be they large or small . In that process I manage to “ see ” the end product and even detailed parts , relevant sizes and the process of fabrication . I also think about cost effective methods for potential commercial fabrication . I always plan to build a prototype to test the efficiency and effectiveness of my imaginative visualisation . For the above challenge I decided to build a steel frame from square hollow sections reinforced in heavier steel at the bottom of the legs . The initial design was made a simple ‘ coffee table ’ like bottom frame with top frame that can rock forward / backward on 2 centre hinges . This design would achieve resistance to fires , termites , keep the centre of gravity ( CG ) low for stability and lift the hive high enough to enable easy work on both the “ brood ” and “ super ” boxes . APPLICATION Building a simple frame as described above was relatively straight forward process . I draft a sketch of the concept design on paper and then added dimensions by measuring the hive ( in 3 dimensions ) , adding comfortable working height to the bottom legs ( and other ergonomic features ) , as well as a rough calculation of the centre of gravity and I added horizontal steel plates to the bottom of the legs to compensate for the rough terrain . After I built the prototype I had to ask a friend ( who is a professional bee keeper ) to help me put the hive on the frame since it was too heavy for one person . Then we also tested the application of the top “ rocking ” frame which was working perfectly . We managed to check the health of the hive ( relatively complicated process ) while the top frame was tilted forward and then tilt the top frame backward to extract the honey . At the end of the day I received good feedback from my friend who gave me initial guidelines for the project and set the bench mark for practical success . INSIGHT While we were testing the first frame that I built , I realised that the frame could have been built differently and with few more features added to the original design . The test of the prototype achieved the original bench mark but it was n’t elegant enough : I realised that the hinges between the top frame and bottom stand were not as robust as I initially thought and the tilting process was too cumbersome . Generally , the process of visualisation of an engineering project is very effective in my case since there ’s no “ background noise ” . I do n’t have any interruptions from the environment of prolonged periods of concentration . I manage to ‘ visualise ’ scenarios in other planning activities i.e. meetings with family members ( which may be awkward at any given time ) and/or friends . I plan via visualisation ( usually while swimming ) detailed travel itineraries after elaborate studies of routes , destinations , flight / accommodation logistics , etc . Yet , with all the above said and extensive experience gained , it ’s obvious to me that good visualisation capabilities are never enough unless ‘ visualised concept ’ is tested : From vision to drafting , fabrication and prototyping ; or despite imagining the perfect meeting so as to be ready for surprises even when adhering to all relevant “ rules & regulations ” ; and visualising the ideal travel plan , including the need accommodate unexpected impediments ; things often turn out differently in their experiencing . Obviously , the human factor increases uncertainties even in the best visualisation process . APPROACH Hence , in the next few swimming sessions ( where most of my creative visualisation occurs ) , I “ designed ” a new version of the hive stand : Instead of top rocking frame I used the bottom stand as regular base to the hive and use telescopic square sections that protrude from the bottom legs upward at the front of the hive to tilt it backward . The mechanism that lifts up the tandem telescopic sections is located in the middle of the frame between the 4 legs and is accessible from the back of the stand – away from the bee ’s flight path . I also added simple features to enable supports for “ brood ” frames when conducting health checks to the hive . Clearly , the second prototype is more expensive due to more complicated fabrication and assembly processes but eventually more sophisticated and elegant to use . Basically , in the honey extraction process , all the user needs to do is to set the jars in place , push a lever to tilt the hive and the honey will flow . ### Output:

The Challenge I work in the enterprise software industry , where the concepts of Design Thinking can be very new , and in many ways , uncomfortable . Many enterprise applications that users interact with on a daily basis are cumbersome , inefficient , and have an overall poor user experience . A lot of enterprise applications are still not mobile optimized , forcing users to work from a computer . In addition , because of their often poor user experience , users frequently create workarounds , using cheat sheets , or even other 3rd party applications to complete tasks their current apps do n’t allow . For this reason , I am often in the position of trying to convince companies that Design Thinking is a worthy investment for them , and their users . Selection and Application In order to help sell our clients on the Design Thinking methodology , I am often called upon to use storytelling . In the lecture , it is mentioned that people can be “ ignited and united ” by a cause in ways that simply listing current issues can not . For that reason , it is up to me , and other members of my team , to come up with a story for Design Thinking . The lecture mentions that the first thing about storytelling is that you have to know your audience . As stated in my challenge , very frequently the audience does not know about the Design Thinking process , and is often skeptical of why it may be needed for their organization . Knowing this going into presentations , we have to be prepared to address some of that skepticism even before it ’s ever explicitly discussed . While telling the story of our organization and how we utilize Design Thinking to help companies transform their business applications , we often weave in bits of success stories we have from past clients . This helps us to address not only the “ what ” of Design Thinking as we go along , but also the “ why ” . Having a clear sequence of events is another key to good storytelling , as pointed out by the lecture . For Design Thinking , this is often an easy task . We present the story by the phases of the DT process , explaining clearly what that phase is , how we typically go about it , and why it ’s a key step in the process . This sort of linear flow helps folks wrap their minds around the process . Despite it ’s linear nature , we do also point out that things may need to be iterated upon , so we always had opportunities to go backwards if needed . Finally , we make sure that all the questions we have asked along the way are answered , and that there is time for reflection . This is our last chance to convince our audience that Design Thinking is the process they need . Again , we like to site highly positive outcomes of other workshops we ’ve done , and point out the elements of Design Thinking that made the results possible . This process has converted a lot of “ non - believers ” , allowing us to continue to tell great stories , and achieve great results for our clients . Insight I think the insight I gain every time I use the storytelling tool is to see what the “ aha ” moment is for folks in the room , and how that differs across audiences and organizations . It often lands in different places for different people , and for some folks , that moment never comes , and I need to go back to the “ understanding your audience ” piece to try to understand how to alter my message to make it more meaningful for that person or that group . Because the storytelling is itself around Design Thinking , it also helps me understand more broadly what tends to trip people up in the process , and where most of those “ aha ” moments seem to occur . That helps me continue to refine my story , and craft my message in a way that will be meaningful for my audience , ultimately driving more business , and increasing customer satisfaction . Given the nature of the challenge , I truly believe that storytelling is the best option . An alternate or perhaps additive tool would be visualization . Some of my storytelling happens in brief conversations at conventions or events , and other instances take place as part of presentations where I can utilize slideshows , videos , photographs , etc . Having more options in the latter of those scenarios , I can sometimes use things like storyboards to help present a message . In that way , I am able to weave some of the other tools into storytelling as well .

Storytelling Challenge Storytelling is a key element when it comes to conveying your thoughts , ideas and plans . When a company needs to convey a message to an employee or an entrepreneur wants to convey his business ideas to an investor , storytelling is something that makes it or breaks it for them . With storytelling comes a myriad of challenges . A story must be gripping enough to ensure the listener stays attentive all the while and also convey all the nitty gritty details of the idea at hand . A story needs to be brief , yet rich in content . It is extremely difficult to ensure that all these factors are balanced out in the presentation one has created . Application When I had to present my startup idea to my investors , I was extremely nervous . I knew I was given one chance to prove the value of my proposed business but was very confused as to how to go about doing that . This was when one of my friends suggested the design thinking course . The main takeaway from the course was the storytelling module . So , from the module , I started planning out a basic structure for my presentation . It had to be brief , so I jotted down only the points that were extremely valuable . It turned out that what was of utter importance was my business idea and future metrics . I knew text is extremely boring . So , what I decided to do was fill the presentation slides with fun little images which would lend a helping hand to what I was speaking at that presentation . The images were mildly amusing and yet not too cartoonish that the investors would n’t take me seriously . The next thing I did that I believe was extremely valuable was provide each member of the board with a sheet explaining the minute details of what I was explaining . For example , for everything I explained , which obviously I had kept brief , the sheet would have slightly extra details , which I would refer the board members to when I explained the relevant details . I know that while explaining , if the investors start reading the content , they would miss out on the points I put out later , so I ensure that the investors refer the manual only after I ’m done with my presentation . What this does is make the presentation seem short , but at the same time , bring out more intricate details without the investors feeling as if the presentation was a drag . So , to frame my speech , I had to bring out my ideas and points in a story like fashion . With a lot of current and non - existential circumstances , I explained how this business would work , got to know the investors a bit too . What getting to know the investors would help you with is now , knowing a little background of theirs , you could explain how your project would fit into their lives conveniently as well . So , now you could fine tune your business details to fit into their lives . This makes them not only understand the business plan better , because it ’s a perspective closer to theirs , but it also ensures that they feel a bit more deeply about the business they might invest into . So , to support all my views , there were images in the background . It is very important to understand the perspectives of the investors . This is difficult to do , so you ensure you get as close as possible to their perspective by bringing in various dimensions to your like the amusing imagery and the text sheets . Most times , investments do not happen just because the investors could not understand what the person pitching their idea was speaking , because the presentation was too technical . One should remember the investors are most of the times business people and not techies or anyone from the field you belong too . With an enthralling idea pitch , one is sure to secure investment . Also needed , is a little bit of confidence and luck . Insights & Approach From going through to a number of investors with my various business propositions , what I have figured out is that , I am more comfortable with providing my views about anything I want to convey . This is not only with investors , but with also my family and friends . Previously , the topics that I had trouble explaining because they were intricately complicated , now is a piece of cake for me . It has also brought about a change in the way I think and has also inculcated a level of empathy within me . Over time , it became easier for me to seek out investments and also helped my presentations and texts improve exponentially over time . The things I improved were , I started designing my own animations . This was because they helped me convey my ideas more effectively , because they were mine after all , so the animations should be mine too because who else could convey my ideas better than myself ? I see the importance of design thinking and the importance of cultivating these ideas and more of these ideas into ones ’ everyday life , as it is vital to cultivate the mindset of a businessman to suit one .

Crabby Johns Seafood Buffet- : Company General Use Learning Launch Challenge I work in a unit which serve Rigs in the country and our challenge is improve the quantity of repaired assets with keeping the quality level or even improves it . We have a shop to maintain drilling assets and these assets are huge and require more job to complete . More than one craft is included here and require their cooperative in the subject . We need the best solution to be implemented in 30 business day . We have to provide a solution based on company demand and our limited resources . Selection I decided to select learning launch tool to beat this challenge and hopefully to shows best result ever . Application For our first learning launch , we focused on our capability and possibility of our manpower , maintenance equipment and working hours . In each part individually , we need to see how we could reach to the target by our limited resources and be satisfy . This tested our hypothesis that our target might be reachable . We visited all involved units like mechanics , planners and admin clerks . We expected to complete this process with clear steps of our new procedures . For our second launch , we focused on management approval for this proposal to be fully approved and enhancement . These are all about acceleration of the work and increase the productivity of the job . Insight By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our hypothesis and designed launches to test these hypothesis . We suggested to give a chance for employees to work as shifts and it will result in increasing productivity hours . In same hand , this will break the normal routine work and let employees be more active and refreshed . In additional to , we checked the results and weak points if exist , also we and management were more opened to discuss the results together . Results shows positive impact which made the management happy cause results hit our expectations . We have made it within time frame that was assigned to us . Approach We have done several design thinking tools and at this level of approaching in the time line and learning launch is the perfect tool to select . To confirm our results , we double check our launches and implement them in future needs . This should reflect in most of similar cases to get more progress and production .

Reflection Visualization Samar Mohamed Challenge The hotel industry is a fundamental part of tourism in Mexico , and contributes millions of pesos to the national economy ; In addition , the average national salary of a hotel manager is MXN $ 71,616 , so it is very important for a hotel manager to have quality , guarantee , safety , good customer service , a pleasant atmosphere and , above all , generate a good experience in clients at the time of their stay at the hotel , since this makes them stand out from the competition and the promotion of a good experience makes the client return to the hotel and can be recommended . In this case , I will talk about the Riazor Hotel . A business hotel located less than 5 km . from the CDMX International Airport , where you can not only stay and rest , but also hold work meetings , sessions or social events . For years the Hotel Riazor has been a 4.5 - star hotel , but in recent months , there have been multiple complaints where guests claim that the environment is not pleasant because the attention and service provided by the workers is not adequate , something that directly affects the experience given to guests , in addition to damaging the hotel 's image and decreasing the number of visitors . Selection , application and approach For this problem , what I would do is solve the main problem , which is the unpleasant environment due to the poor attention and service given to the guest , for this I would begin by interviewing customers to find out their complaints more accurately and accepting suggestions In order to improve our service , I would later brainstorm the best way to fix the problems , then experiment with all the best ways to solve it using a design tool called visualization . “ Visualization is one of the essential design tools . It 's about using imagery to make an abstract idea more public and more concrete , so that it will be more visible , clear , and understandable to others ” ( video : The Good Kitchen Story , Design Thinking Innovation ) . If this does n't work , I would decide to completely redesign customer service and support , using a user - centric design approach . I would begin by observing and deeply analyzing the experience of the guests in the hotel , this through an ethnographic approach , using the Travel Mapping tool as a specific tool , this because “ the Travel Mapping tool follows a client or interested party when they receive a product or service . or they go through a process ” ( video : The Good Kitchen Story , Design Thinking Innovation ) and in order to observe in detail the experience of the guests from the moment they request a reservation until they leave the hotel , analyzing the attention that is given to the client through the service and the attitude of the employees at the time of providing it . I would be accompanying the customers at the reception , I would observe the service provided by the cleaning staff and by the waiters in the restaurant and bar . Besides that he would speak to all the hotel staff . As a result of customer service observations , the exact reason for poor customer service and care could be determined . On several occasions , the workers appeared tired and somewhat irritated when doing their work , and after talking with the workers it was concluded that they showed this behavior because the rest they had at work was not enough . Although they had a set break time and meal time , the employees were tired . I would continue to brainstorm possible options for hotel workers to get enough rest and to be able to perform at work without diminishing productivity . From this brainstorming two options would come out , the first , where the rest and the time to eat last a little longer , and the second , where there are two breaks and one time to eat , where the breaks are interspersed . To test these ideas , I would use a visualization tool , which would be done by making the first option one week and the second option another week , with the intention of seeing which of the two options would benefit the hotel and the workers the most . As a final result , employees had two breaks and one meal time , employee behavior and the atmosphere in the hotel improved , customers stopped complaining , and the number of hotel visits increased . Insight After this course , I was able to learn better ways to solve a problem , since they are more effective and take more account of the people involved , not only at work but also personally . Before taking the course , I would have analyzed customer complaints and brainstormed , and then used the solution immediately , without considering other options to solve the problem or without considering employees . More generally , while taking this Design Thinking for Innovation course , I realized that innovation is not only used for commercial products , but also for problems of all kinds and that it all depends on the level of imagination you have , the level of experience and how willing you are to experiment with the ideas you have , using short , cheap experiments . I realized that the topics covered in the course go beyond marketing , since it can be related to different things , including personal ones like the way of thinking .

Reflection - Visualization Challenge : I work for a company that creates computer software to support financial institutions . Since creating and writing software is a human activity , it lends itself to errors , or what we refer to as bugs or defects in the software code . I will use the term defects throughout the remainder of this paper . Since I have a background in computer programming and I now work in project management with a specialty in Lean Six Sigma process improvement , I was approached by our management team to help find a solution to our ever - growing defect backlog . To be specific , over the past 15 years we had amassed over 7,500 defects and we did n’t have a process that allowed us to resolve defects at the same rate in which they were identified . The process currently in place required three separate business units within our company to coordinate their work efforts to write , test , and deliver a defect fix to our financial institution customers . I will also add that these three groups did n’t communicate well with each other nor did they get along very well . My challenge was to not only help find a solution to the defect backlog , but I also had to find a way to get the teams to work together to identify all the pain points in the current process . I felt this was the first and most critical step . Selection : I decided to start with Visualization of the current - state process . I felt this would give the teams an icebreaker to start working together as well as the “ What - Is ” to the problem . We did the visualization by creating a process map which I ’ll describe in the application section below . Application : We scheduled a two - day meeting with the subject matter experts from all three product groups . The first day of the meeting was all about creating visualization of the current - state process . We did this by creating a process map using sticky notes and a wall . Each group was responsible for describing and writing each process step on a sticky note and then sticking in on the wall in the order that it happened . We kept each product groups steps in their own swim - lane and made sure to highlight the steps that resulted in a handoff to another group or was a requirement that another group needed . I wanted the focus to be on the teams working together , describing what they currently did , and then making it visible so that each subject matter expert in the room could see what the other team needed and what they produced . As they identified the process steps , they also commented on any pain points and we captured that data . Here are a couple of pictures of our teams working together to produce a current - state process map with sticky notes and a wall : Insight : The visualization of the current - state process was eye opening for several team members . When we finished the exercise , we had a complete process map from start to finish and every team ’s steps identified . Many of them did n’t know the process from start to finish and did n’t realize what effect their work had on another group . It also helped them understand the pain points that other groups were feeling and let them vocalize the pain points they were feeling . This also broke the ice and let them see that they could work together to solve the problems . Another advantage that we saw from the map was all the duplication of work that was happening in the process . The groups did n’t realize that some of the work they were doing was already being done by someone else . All in all , it was a great start to finding the root cause of our problem and making it understandable by everyone working the process . Approach : I believe this was the right tool for the job and do n’t think anything else would have given us the reality of the current - state . I would like to find a more “ attractive ” way of process mapping other than just square sticky notes and a wall . I ’ve tried doing it through software on a projector in the past , but it does n’t allow for the interaction that this method allows . One other method may be for me to gather the process steps prior to the meeting , digitize the process map and have it printed prior to the start . This would work for a team that works closely together and does n’t need the team building aspect .

The challenge Working as project manager and being a MBA student , I deal with a large quantity of knowledge on a daily . Some are new ideas being introduced , some square measure giant topics that I need to master ; however most of the knowledge comes in an exceedingly non organized , non - structured method , creating it more durable on behalf of me and everyone else to absorbe and utilize it . That the method I ’d phrase the challenge would be : however will we have a tendency to improve work and study by structuring info we have a tendency to handle in an exceedingly easy , yet meaniningful method , therefore we are able to quickly have a top level view on what it ’s regarding and visualize the hierarchy and relationship of its topics ? Mind Mapping as the tool of choice So so as to possess a solution to it challenge , I actually have chosen to apply the Mind Mapping tool . A mind map are often wo nt to represent a subject matter or a concept , structuring the knowledge in an exceedingly map - like read . the subject is placed at center of the map ( its starting point ) and so the ideas and details , square measure connected in a logic , class- conscious means . For example : The example map on top of quickly informs the reader regarding what the topic is ( types of social networks ) , what square measure the classes and sub - categories ( gaming , photography , … ) and what square measure some items at intervals those classes ( the social networks like Facebook , Twitter , etc ) . Application and insights So when learning concerning the Mind Mapping tool , I started creating maps at work and additionally for my MBA course . My insight was that the tasks or assignments we have a tendency to execute ar sometimes extremely repetition of one thing already exhausted the past . However , although they ’re better - known , they 're additionally too massive or too complicated for us to believe solely on our recollections . Here ’s wherever the mind mapping helps tons .

Creating a mind map had a massive positive impact on my study as a result of I will , as I scan through the pages , create the visual map illustration of the topic . Final final concerns As i 'm seeing the advantages of mind maps for each work and study , I undoubtedly conceive to continue mistreatment the tool .

Storytelling - Final Exercise 1 . Challenge : Given the current situation in the world with the Coronavirus pandemic , service companies have redesigned their processes to ensure that customers do not have to travel from their homes to branches , my organization has faced that challenge too , since their customers They are people from the age of 18 onwards and in another segment they serve small or large companies that require different services from us , one of them , which constitutes the challenge of this work is to guarantee that retirees , that is , the most vulnerable people before the disease , they have access to the money of their allowance in a virtual way to make payments , transfers or recharges avoiding them to be exposed when making payments or consignments in person at the branches . 2 . Selection : In my work , I usually do more than 4 meetings a day with people from different areas who participate in the different processes of the organization , so it is important to speak the language of each of them to understand what they need and which implies introducing changes in the applications and processes of the organization , which is why storytelling has become a powerful tool to express the need of a client to people who speak different languages and to get all parties to agree on the solution to be implemented and the impact of this in the different work teams . 3 . Application : At the time the government decreed the national emergency due to the pandemic , the organization defined a work front to develop solutions for rapid implementation in aspects aligned with social distancing and protection measures for older people , this group of people had knowledge in the different products or processes of the bank but they did not know the main needs of this group of vulnerable people to whom we had to design a quick and effective solution . The first thing we did was to tell all the participants in the session each of the tasks that a retirees does to claim his allowance in an office , hours , branches , services , service hours , etc . , emphasizing the inconveniences or difficulties facing under this public health emergency issue , later we asked them to indicate the impacts from each front to migrate the tasks to the digital process , however in the discussions people began to tell their experiences about the processes in the digital channel or about the relationship of their parents or grandparents with the technology , which opened a new space in the work table to design a solution . The stories of the group showed us several things among the most important we emphasize : - The systems engineer 's grandmother does not use a high - tech cell phone because she does n't see very well at the moment . - The test analyst 's father after his retirement moved to a town near the city where the internet signal is not good . - The COO 's wife likes to go to the office monthly to remove the allowance because she takes advantage of the time and meets her friends to go to lunch . - The mother of the owner of the product lives alone and although she has internet and smartphone at home , the digital processes are not very well known to her and she is afraid that her information or money will be stolen . - The requirements analyst 's father is working as an independent and although he is over 70 years old , he has no pension . After compiling all this information , it was decided to put a name and a face on each sub - segment of older people to search for the digitalization solutions of the services , including telephone calls from an advisor , text messages or digital applications with facial recognition that meets the needs of each one . In this way , the advisors could provide more truthful information to each client who communicates and requests a service . It was also decided to expand the segment attention group to include fund and pension companies in order to improve agreements with these entities in order to help the client . 4 . Knowledge : We all have retired relatives or friends who are experiencing a difficult situation due to quarantine , we identify that there is a group of elderly people who do not represent the target group , corresponds to the people who live without a pension and are third age . Those who are looking for temporary jobs to live day to day or have their independent businesses proposed . These people will not request an account for the deposit of their pension , but they may require to request a loan with the restriction of doing the virtual process , which changed the focus of the search to improve a product to improve a process for an entire segment including by offering solutions for both savings accounts and small loans to high risk people . 5 . Focus : I think the exercise showed us that the story telling tool can be reinforced with another tool such as the mind map that could help keep track of the definitions that the table made when evaluating the proposal , " What Is ? " . On some occasions , the information provided by a process in the narrative of a fact may be misinterpreted in the application of the changes , generating solutions to issues other than the initial need in the “ What if ” process . On the other hand , identify that it might have been better to do the exercise by related groups initially and then sessions with the whole group , so that each group would have refined the need , avoiding ramblings and details that blurred the initial problem .

Selection : In my work , I usually do more than 4 meetings a day with people from different areas who participate in the different processes of the organization , so it is important to speak the language of each of them to understand what they need and which implies introducing changes in the applications and processes of the organization , which is why storytelling has become a powerful tool to express the need of a client to people who speak different languages and to get all parties to agree on the solution to be implemented and the impact of this in the different work teams . 3 . Application : At the time the government decreed the national emergency due to the pandemic , the organization defined a work front to develop solutions for rapid implementation in aspects aligned with social distancing and protection measures for older people , this group of people had knowledge in the different products or processes of the bank but they did not know the main needs of this group of vulnerable people to whom we had to design a quick and effective solution . The first thing we did was to tell all the participants in the session each of the tasks that a retirees does to claim his allowance in an office , hours , branches , services , service hours , etc . , emphasizing the inconveniences or difficulties facing under this public health emergency issue , later we asked them to indicate the impacts from each front to migrate the tasks to the digital process , however in the discussions people began to tell their experiences about the processes in the digital channel or about the relationship of their parents or grandparents with the technology , which opened a new space in the work table to design a solution . The stories of the group showed us several things among the most important we emphasize : - The systems engineer 's grandmother does not use a high - tech cell phone because she does n't see very well at the moment . - The test analyst 's father after his retirement moved to a town near the city where the internet signal is not good . - The COO 's wife likes to go to the office monthly to remove the allowance because she takes advantage of the time and meets her friends to go to lunch . - The mother of the owner of the product lives alone and although she has internet and smartphone at home , the digital processes are not very well known to her and she is afraid that her information or money will be stolen . - The requirements analyst 's father is working as an independent and although he is over 70 years old , he has no pension . After compiling all this information , it was decided to put a name and a face on each sub - segment of older people to search for the digitalization solutions of the services , including telephone calls from an advisor , text messages or digital applications with facial recognition that meets the needs of each one . In this way , the advisors could provide more truthful information to each client who communicates and requests a service . It was also decided to expand the segment attention group to include fund and pension companies in order to improve agreements with these entities in order to help the client . 4 . Knowledge : We all have retired relatives or friends who are experiencing a difficult situation due to quarantine , we identify that there is a group of elderly people who do not represent the target group , corresponds to the people who live without a pension and are third age . Those who are looking for temporary jobs to live day to day or have their independent businesses proposed . These people will not request an account for the deposit of their pension , but they may require to request a loan with the restriction of doing the virtual process , which changed the focus of the search to improve a product to improve a process for an entire segment including by offering solutions for both savings accounts and small loans to high risk people . 5 . Focus : I think the exercise showed us that the story telling tool can be reinforced with another tool such as the mind map that could help keep track of the definitions that the table made when evaluating the proposal , " What Is ? " . On some occasions , the information provided by a process in the narrative of a fact may be misinterpreted in the application of the changes , generating solutions to issues other than the initial need in the “ What if ” process . On the other hand , identify that it might have been better to do the exercise by related groups initially and then sessions with the whole group , so that each group would have refined the need , avoiding ramblings and details that blurred the initial problem . ### Output:

Example Reflection – Visualization Challenge and selection I ’m a senior of a Marketing college career , and the first tool I learned and actually pun in action was , the visualization , which is the real core component of the way that we communicate , whether we 're aware of it or not . When we 're dealing with very complex problems , such as the global pandemic that we ’re all going through , we 're actually enacting a different kind of problem solving that has to bring in more than just logic . When the quarantine started , I began without even noticing it , to use this technique , I began visualizing about the future possible outcomes , future possible solutions and also about possible opportunities . “ Visualization has a role to play throughout the design process or the development process . Innovation itself has a rich and detailed development process that we have to follow , from beginning with exploration , moving in through pattern finding ” ( Angela Myer ) . So , I started this process of finding possible opportunities to use a development during this contingence by visualization . Application The application has started , and I began with putting together a work team to help find the best opportunities that we could manage to take advantage of in the actual global situation . This work team was a group of 8 people , 3 of them including myself were Marketers , 2 of the were specialists on Finance , one specialist on Economics , one specialist on graphic design and one specialist Administration . So , it was a really balanced team , with different ideas and different points of view on the matter . The activity began by the tool chosen , visualization , by deciding the top 5 topics that were currently developing the major ’s problems or difficulties because of the quarantine . After deciding the 5 topics , the brainstorming began , possible factual solutions that someone may apply to the topics in question . When the brainstorming is finished because of the lack of new and original ideas , the choosing step begins . Of all the possible solutions that were obtained in the brainstorming stage , those that were both most feasible to carry out and the most original were selected . And after narrowing down the options , only one was chosen . So , we now have one idea , one possible opportunity , so we again use our selected tool , visualization . This time applying to develop more forward the idea , we use sketching and in white boards we begin creating a viable outcome , working as a team , diagramming and capturing our thinking , using images , post - its , quote , etc . Insight and approach Your brain is constantly using visualization in the process of simulating future experiences , but this process happens so naturally that you generally are n't even aware of it , the same way you usually are n't aware that you are breathing . I have used the visualization tool many times throughout my career , and honestly is one of my favorite ones , simply because it ’s the one that boosts creativity the most , and it ’s a really easy tool to use and do , just by imagining and no limit is imposed . You can learn to use visualization to actively create future simulations that can help you improve the goals that you set for yourself . You actually can create two types of simulations , outcome and process . An outcome simulation is a sensory - based representation of the final outcome you expect , and a process situation involves simulating the steps that get you to the final outcome . Research shows that to get the most benefit from simulations , it is best to use both types together . Using simulation can improve your motivation and increase your belief in your ability to achieve a goal . So definitely the use of visualization can help a lot no matter what the project you ’re working on , it ’s a matter of problem - solution technique that can give you great results . Besides this technique is so easy to implement and to learn , you just need practice but the truth at least for me , the only thing you need is to focus on a specific matter , because everybody uses in a daily matter the visualization technique .

Data visualization is the graphic representation of data . It involves producing images that communicate relationships among the represented data to viewers of the images . This communication is achieved through the use of a systematic mapping between graphic marks and data values in the creation of the visualization . This mapping establishes how data values will be represented visually , determining how and to what extent a property of a graphic mark , such as size or color , will change to reflect changes in the value of a datum . To communicate information clearly and efficiently , data visualization uses statistical graphics , plots , information graphics and other tools . Numerical data may be encoded using dots , lines , or bars , to visually communicate a quantitative message.[1 ] Effective visualization helps users analyze and reason about data and evidence . It makes complex data more accessible , understandable and usable . Users may have particular analytical tasks , such as making comparisons or understanding causality , and the design principle of the graphic ( i.e. showing comparisons or showing causality ) follows the task . Tables are generally used where users will look up a specific measurement , while charts of various types are used to show patterns or relationships in the data for one or more variables . Data visualization is both an art and a science . It is viewed as a branch of descriptive statistics by some , but also as a grounded theory development tool by others . Increased amounts of data created by Internet activity and an expanding number of sensors in the environment are referred to as " big data " or Internet of things . Processing , analyzing and communicating this data present ethical and analytical challenges for data visualization . The field of data science and practitioners called data scientists help address this challenge.[3 ] In the commercial space , this increased amount of data generation has resulted in a push for workers to have a greater visual literacy than previously needed . This module offers an introduction to visualization , what it is , how it works , and what ethical considerations are involved in its design . It also teaches how to prepare data before visualizing it , which will be covered . This module covers how visualization can be used to explore and discover features that often hide behind data . The materials will show you how to use software tools that will allow you to import a data set and then visualize it in multiple ways to reveal patterns and exceptions to those patterns . This module explains how visualization can be used to communicate with the public . The video classes will show you how to use a Google tool called Flourish , to design static and interactive maps and charts , and then put them together in sequential narratives . This module is focused on designing a visualization based on a topic and data sets of your choice

John Yates Design Thinking for Innovation Carolina Chavez May 3 , 2020 Reflection : The Mind Mapping Tool 1 . Challenge My consulting firm was tasked by our client , a health - care foundation board , to help them design an organizational strategy in light of all the rapidly moving developments in health - care . The board was at an impasse , uncertain on where to place its bets to best support health - care in this country without being able to predict where a number of current trends might lead . We used design thinking to present a few high - level , flexible , iterative , strategic options for the board that the foundation could pursue within the 2021 - 2024 time - frame . 2 . Selection This reflection will focus on the mind mapping tool , which was the most important phase of the project as it moved the process from the What Is ? stage of ascertaining the current state of the organization and of health - care in the U.S. , to the crucial What If ? stage of beginning to draft new , possible realities for the foundation . This fulfilled the purpose of the board in hiring my firm . I am defining mind mapping as the collective visualization by the board members of the sum of their knowledge , experiences , insights , interests , and visions of health - care , thereby establishing a snapshot or base upon which to build a series of possible strategic options for the foundation to pursue . As Lopez said in the Module 3 video : “ In the first phase of the design thinking process , we take a look at the current reality , at What Is ? In doing so , we amass a huge amount of data . Before moving to the next phase , What If ? , we need to distill all that data into information and insights that can be easily communicated . This is just what mind mapping does well . ” 3 . Application : Following the completion of extensive health - care industry research and in - depth interviews with members of the board to collect data on the current reality in the What Is ? stage of the design thinking approach , we started the mind mapping process . We began by asking the group to individually generate a set of planning assumptions about the likely future conditions that will impact the foundation and its work to help determine where members are aligned in beliefs about the future . The group first noted these planning assumptions individually on Post - it Notes and pinned them on a large white board . After all the ideas were exhausted following several rounds of the question “ what else ? ” , the team grouped the Post - It Noted ideas in the following themes : paying for health - care , “ change ” as a field , societal tone , politics , technology , process , and doing the work vs. paying for the work . From this “ map ” of initial contributions , we asked the group to create an aligned - upon set of shared assumptions about the future context that the foundation will be acting in , starting in 2021 . In the next step , the board revisited the What Is ? stage research and brainstormed what they have found works to catalyze transformational systemic change , and what the field is saying about what the foundation might or should try . Such ideas included creating new lines of business , partnering differently with localities , etc . These ideas were written on Post - it Notes and arranged on the white board . The board then started anticipating potential future paths for the foundation by exploring two extremes : ( 1 ) be entirely organized as a think tank or ( 2 ) be completely focused on implementing current knowledge and practices . The group split in two to explore these two possible approaches in depth . The two teams suggested four alternate organizational realities to explore based on this experience : an implementation organization with some R&D ( called “ Alice ” ) ; a think tank with some implementation power ( following the Alice in Wonderland theme , called “ Mad Hatter ” ) ; taking on a program - based initiative to scale ( “ Cheshire Cat ” ) , and having a “ Mad Hatter”-like model that targets groups of leaders across systems instead of leaders of institutions alone ( “ Mock Turtle ” ) . Finally , the team closed out the mind mapping process by creating a summary chart to compare and contrast the four options to display how well each model could fulfill the foundation ’s mission to further the state of health - care in the United States . 4 . Insight This , my first involvement in a design thinking process , was an illuminating experience and showed me the distinct difference to traditional strategy . In a traditional strategic planning process , the focus is on designing the future from the present and seeks to answer the question : from where we stand today , where do we want to be in five years ? This approach in today ’s fast - paced and highly changeable world now seems to me to be far too inflexible and brittle ; as soon as one element changes internally or externally the entire infrastructure of the plan can be rendered moot . The beauty of the design thinking approach is that it is iterative , flexible , and serves as a guidepost for possible approaches , rather than committing an organization to a specific path . While informed by the current past from the What Is ? Stage , the design thinking process is n’t limited by it , but allows for an expansive view of what could be . Rather than be constrained to one plan heading in one direction , design thinking allows for the creation of multiple possible plans and directions focusing on key organizational values and goals versus specific metrics . The foundation in question could easily choose one model and then combine it with or switch to another model midstream with minimal disruption - something not possible with a traditional strategic plan . 5 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why : This approach was highly effective and exactly what the client wanted . One difference for the next time , however , would be to employ more visualization techniques to better bring the models to life . While using the colorful Alice In Wonderland themed models and adding a number of details to each provided personalities to each model , a more graphic approach depicting each model would have provided a more compelling and vibrant picture of each possible scenario . Just as a picture tells a thousand words , a graphical representation , such as Lopez ’s mind map in Module 3 , would have served the client even better .

The foundation in question could easily choose one model and then combine it with or switch to another model midstream with minimal disruption - something not possible with a traditional strategic plan . 5 . Approach : Describe what you might do differently next time -- applying the same tool you selected or a different one -- and the reason(s ) why : This approach was highly effective and exactly what the client wanted . One difference for the next time , however , would be to employ more visualization techniques to better bring the models to life . While using the colorful Alice In Wonderland themed models and adding a number of details to each provided personalities to each model , a more graphic approach depicting each model would have provided a more compelling and vibrant picture of each possible scenario . Just as a picture tells a thousand words , a graphical representation , such as Lopez ’s mind map in Module 3 , would have served the client even better . ### Output:

Visualization Challenge and Selection The primary apparatus I utilized was the device of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to accomplish a common comprehension of an issue space among a differing gathering of partners before endeavoring to distinguish and characterize potential answers for the issue . I utilize this methodology frequently with our clients , who are government organizations attempting to apply innovation advancements to modernize their strategic the conveyance of their administrations to their client , which might be U.S. residents , organizations , and non - residents . I have utilized the procedure of utilizing a misrepresentation representation of an issue space with a lot of inquiries or prompts for conversation to permit a differing gathering of partners to gain from one another during the time spent characterizing the extension , limits , key components , and connections between components to consider while recognizing torment focuses and open doors for enhancements or arrangements . Application I start the procedure by making a misrepresentation realistic of the difficult space . To build up the misrepresentation realistic , I will draw from any current material accessible to comprehend nature . The current material might be operational or procedural reports , preparing materials , advertising materials , GAO or other examining reports . In the event that materials are not accessible , at that point I lead casual meetings with one - three of the partners who fill in as my central matters of contact on the activity . In the event that proper to the circumstance , I will acquire the idea to " front - stage / back - stage " from past explore , and talked about in David Gray 's book , " The Connected Company " . The front - stage / back - stage approach assists with fortifying the idea that each help – even an inner help – has clients with whom the specialist co - op associates and inner procedures that empower the association to give the administration . The layout I regularly start with likewise has a section on the left to distinguish Partners and Value Chain Providers and a segment on the option to recognize Oversight Organizations , for example , Congress , GAO , trade guilds , promotion gatherings , and different substances that may add imperatives to how the association works . The misrepresentation realistic is basic , utilizing straightforward shapes and symbols accessible in Visio or on the Web . In the event that the front - stage / back - stage see does n't work , at that point I will make an alternate kind of visual , either dependent on an elevated level procedure stream with swim paths for various partners , or another organization . For the action , I will partition the partners into gatherings of 5 - 6 members each speaking to a distinctive association or zone of intrigue . Each gathering gets a banner size duplicate of the misrepresentation realistic that they can compose on legitimately , or utilize clingy notes to offer remarks . I give them two- three inquiries to reply , for example , 1 ) What key components are absent from the realistic ? 2 ) What might you change about the realistic to make it all the more precisely mirror your difficult space ? 3 ) What key bits of knowledge do you have about the connections between the elements in your difficult space ? I give them roughly 20 minutes to talk about the inquiries and increase the realistic . At that point I have each gathering report out on their responses to those three inquiries while highlighting the imprint ups on their banner . As each gathering reports out , I record shared traits in the bits of knowledge of each gathering , and afterward extra bits of knowledge that originate from the gathering conversation on an extra duplicate of the realistic . After the meeting , I digitize each gathering 's banner as a curio , make a view that consolidates the mutual and new bits of knowledge from the gathering conversation , and afterward make a modified realistic that consolidates their input and proposed changes that they consented to as a gathering . Understanding and Approach What I have gained from directing this activity with a few gatherings is that while the realistic – particularly the amended realistic that fuses their criticism – is significant for strengthening their comprehension of the difficult they are attempting to understand , the more significant part of the movement is the mutual bits of knowledge and shared discovering that happens while they are attempting to characterize their concern space . The realistic gives the assorted gathering of partners a point of convergence for conversation that permits them to share their points of view and form experiences into potential underlying drivers of their issues . While they could make the realistic from a clear record in a community way , beginning with a misrepresentation hop begins the discussion for them . They can rapidly distinguish where they are in the realistic – or on the off chance that they are missing – and can all the more rapidly increase new experiences about connections between key substances rather than setting aside some effort to distinguish them . They can likewise recognize factors in the difficult space – that is , it makes a difference them to recognize what they do n't have the foggiest idea , in what regions they have to acquire data or information to give the qualities for the factors . Since I found that the most important viewpoint is the mutual bits of knowledge and learning , next time I would utilize the representation action as a beginning stage for a progression of configuration thinking exercises . At that point the changed realistic that fuses their joined criticism can fill in as a kind of perspective device all through the rest of their work

Visualization Tool Challenge & Selection This is the most tool that I use in my daily work . I work along with the marketing team who market all kinds of events that are being organized . For this they need visuals that need to be sent to customers in the organizations and outside . They also need visuals that need to be posted on social media which can reach the target audiences . In order to attract the attention , the visuals not only need to be visually attractive , but they should also convey the exact message through the visual or the photography and also , they need to be easily understood by a layman . For this , I use this approach with the marketing team . Application once I get the brief from the team , I have a meeting with them to understand what exactly they want to convey and who is the target audience . We together brainstorm on the possible messaging and how we can make it powerful enough . Once the messaging is clear , we visualize the same and try to communicate it in a nonverbal way either we sketch the visual that comes to our mind on a paper or we use the whiteboard and try to use basic shapes , colours , stick figures if needed , or any basic design element . We also create visuals using pictures or photos that are relevant to the message that needs to be conveyed . We decide upon a concept using either the pictures or the graphics that is combined of icons , basic shapes , colours and texts . Upon deciding on the concept , we create the relevant visual using the design tool . We create the graphics using basic shapes , icons , texts , colours that we have brainstormed and visualized and adhering to the company guidelines , we come up with illustrations or creatives along with the textual message in a proper layout . In case of pictures , we search for appropriate images and using the photoshop tool , we make the layout with the picture so that it catches the attention , and the customer is attracted towards the visual . Insight & Approach We come up with options for the visual and let the marketing team decide upon the final approach . We revise the graphics incorporating their feedback – this is important for reinforcing their understanding . Once the visual is decided , we create the final visual from the options and the visual is posted on the relevant platform .

Design Thinking tool ; Story Telling 1 . Challenge : I work with individuals and communities to address Sexual Gender Based Violence ( SGBV ) . Due to shame associated with it , coupled with strong culture , victims opt for silence to avoid stigma and discrimination . The survivors of SGBV lead a life of psychological and mental distress . Lack of reporting or voicing out leads to inadequate reporting and legal action against perpetrators . 2 . Selection : Looking at the Design Thinking tools , Story telling tool puts human beings and their experiences at the centre . Peoples experiences are intimate and personal , the narrator owns the process . Story telling tool aims to address the ‘ what is ’ and naming of the problem , which would lead to finding a root cause for possible dialogues and discussion about this taboo subject . Story telling has been a tool used in several techniques including the popular one ‘ women ’s ways of knowing ’ but the story telling as a design thinking tool 3 . Application : The larger group discussions on SGBV split into smaller groups of 5 individuals with similar characteristics of sex , age , marital status , education background . A guided discussion is then carried out where various points were discussed like the first time a person really felt pained / hurt , by who ? Why ? How was it addressed ? By who ? Was it successfully handled , how does it make you feel , what worked , what can be improved etc . While it generated quiet negative outcomes of how the problem was addressed , it was possible to identify gaps and the available community structures that did not offer critical support required and also those that were missing all together . 4 . Insight : combining the design thinking story telling technique and the animation technique complemented to a better impact and healing of the survivors and victims of SGBV . There is need for counseling . 5 . Approach : It could yield better results to apply the story telling tool on individual cases , and allocate more time for follow up of cases . In order to allow sufficient time to evaluate the outcome and incorporate other social aspects of the program like the livelihoods project .

Visualization through a live demonstration Challenge As a manager of a software development team , it is critical that I ensure that business requirements are developed into functioning software that meet or exceed the expectations of business users . This is critical for the company to continue to deliver products that will help the company grow revenue and market share . One particular challenge with software development is making sure that the developers have a very good idea of both the functional requirements ( push this button for this action ) as well as the non - functional requirements ( flexibility for frequent change , particular font or styling for aesthetic reasons ) . Often times business users can not convey non - functional requirements without first seeing the results of their functional requests . Visualization enables that communication . Selection Visualization is a helpful tool to allow business users to communicate to developers , and also for the developers to communicate to the business users . One of the most common ways that visualization can enable this two - way communication , is through a live demonstration . A demonstration entails both developers and business users coming together to review and experience the work of the developer . Often times this is an in - person meeting , typically a conference type setting with a screen sharing session or white board session . A demonstration can also be virtual , with only the developer and the business user . A good demonstration provides valuable feedback to both business users and developers . First , it gives the business user confidence in the ability of the developer to meet the business needs by showing a prototype . Second , the developer gains confidence in their ability to understand the needs of the business ( both functional and non - functional requirements ) , when they receive feedback in the demonstration after the business user has tested the prototype . Application After the business user has provided functional requirements , and the developer has had a chance to produce a working prototype , a product demonstration should occur . This demonstration allows the user to interact with the prototype to determine if the functional requirements are understood ( does the correct action occur when the button is pushed ) . The demonstration allows for real - time feedback from the business user . The developer can get answers to any outstanding questions , insight into the business value of the request , and also valuable confirmations to continue the work . The demonstration also provides insight into the non - functional expectations of the user ( How does the product look ? ) . A demonstration enables the team to observe the business user interact with the product , and pick up on the non - verbal cues ( Are they happy with the work , are they confused with the work , or are they unhappy with the work ) . Insight One of the most useful qualities of a demonstration is being able to obtain real - time feedback from the business user . This is an opportunity for the business user to experience the prototype , and determine if the business needs are being achieved . This is an opportunity to validate the business request , and ‘ see it in action ’ . A demonstration also can provide feedback in the form of non - verbal cues , and provide the developer more insight into what the business user is feeling about the product . This particular insight can not be communicated via a requirements document , but only by person to person engagement . Approach Our development team has a demonstration every two weeks with our business partners that range from 15 to 60 minutes . This regular cadence is critical to keeping progress moving forward in producing important products for the company . There are times when a demonstration is not an option for business user feedback . Another option available to the team is to create a user acceptance document for the business user to complete . This allows the business user to still interact with the prototype ( on a schedule they can determine ) , and also provides a method to give feedback back to the development team . As the development team is responsible for creating the document , they can ask specific questions to help get the right focus of feedback on critical areas . This is not as effective as a face to face meeting , but will allow for constraints for teams that are not in the same location or perhaps not even the same time zone .

Reflection – Learning Launch Challenge After several months of creating a customer experience strategy , a small cross - functional team was assigned the task of designing the initial engagement experience for this strategy . Once an understanding of the customer ’s needs had been documented , the group set about generating ideas over several ideation sessions . The challenge that confronted the group was which of the ideas would be most effective in engaging the target customer segment . Selection To deal with the challenge of identifying which ideas would be most effective , the Design Thinking tool I leveraged was the Learning Launch Tool . As Matthias Behrens enthusiastically discusses in his lecture 18 video , this tool encourages fast and cheap experimentation of ideas to determine if they will in fact meet the business need , which in our case was effectively engaging our target customer segment . Application To mitigate confirmation bias , the first task I had the group complete was prioritising the ideas based on the popular vote of the group . Also by selecting the top 3 ideas , it assisted in narrowing our initial focus . For the next step , we broke off into pairs and allocated each pair one idea . Each pair designed a hypothesis for their given idea . Each hypothesis outlined the customer need , what we could do to meet that need and what might be the result of meeting that need . The testing of hypotheses was executed via an organisational test and learn function with a small customer segment . We also involved a behavioural specialist and other SMEs to provide input and advice . Insight One of the best insights we gained from utilising this tool was in relation to ideas that people originally thought were ‘ gold ’ back in the ideation sessions . When these ideas were tested the with customer segment , it became obvious that they did n’t care about certain gimmicks or certain tactics we thought would get the desired result . This feedback lead to a revision of the hypotheses which are being retested . It was fantastic to see the power this tool had in changing opinions of members of the working group – not to mention the valuable customer insights it produced !

STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address. ### Input: Reflection – Learning Launch Challenge After several months of creating a customer experience strategy , a small cross - functional team was assigned the task of designing the initial engagement experience for this strategy . Once an understanding of the customer ’s needs had been documented , the group set about generating ideas over several ideation sessions . The challenge that confronted the group was which of the ideas would be most effective in engaging the target customer segment . Selection To deal with the challenge of identifying which ideas would be most effective , the Design Thinking tool I leveraged was the Learning Launch Tool . As Matthias Behrens enthusiastically discusses in his lecture 18 video , this tool encourages fast and cheap experimentation of ideas to determine if they will in fact meet the business need , which in our case was effectively engaging our target customer segment . Application To mitigate confirmation bias , the first task I had the group complete was prioritising the ideas based on the popular vote of the group . Also by selecting the top 3 ideas , it assisted in narrowing our initial focus . For the next step , we broke off into pairs and allocated each pair one idea . Each pair designed a hypothesis for their given idea . Each hypothesis outlined the customer need , what we could do to meet that need and what might be the result of meeting that need . The testing of hypotheses was executed via an organisational test and learn function with a small customer segment . We also involved a behavioural specialist and other SMEs to provide input and advice . Insight One of the best insights we gained from utilising this tool was in relation to ideas that people originally thought were ‘ gold ’ back in the ideation sessions . When these ideas were tested the with customer segment , it became obvious that they did n’t care about certain gimmicks or certain tactics we thought would get the desired result . This feedback lead to a revision of the hypotheses which are being retested . It was fantastic to see the power this tool had in changing opinions of members of the working group – not to mention the valuable customer insights it produced ! Approach In a situation where a new service or product is being designed , I will use the learning launch tool every time to determine if the ‘ idea ’ has merit and is worth proceeding with . It provides results that you could never come up with by making assumptions or by guessing . It produces results that are scientific and factual which can not be disputed because they come from your customers in the real world . ### Output:

Challenges I feel storytelling is great tool to make the audience live the entire journey . I work with a pharma company and we develop medicines that help people in living their day to day life normally . While most of us without a serious illness do n’t really give it a real thought when we pop a pill and go back to work normally . For some of the patients it is lifesaving . We were facing a lot of challenges internally where the production team feels bored of the usual work that they do . Their output can be measured in terms of yield , volume produced , defects percentage , etc . But these metrics are not enough to make them feel motivated about the work they do . The impact they create ca n’t be quantified in terms of such key performance indicators ( KPIs ) . My task was to motivate our workers and help them find a meaning to their work . Selection & Application I used storytelling in my approach . I reached to the central team and proposed an idea that I wanted to cover the life story of some of our patients and show it to our works . The plan was to take a more customer focussed approach . I wanted to demonstrate how these workers are helping in making the medicines reach so many patients and how indirectly they are affecting the lives of so many people . Covering the journey of these patients in the form of a video would take the team through all the phases of the patient life and how in the end they were able to have a normal life by using the medicine . Insights & Approach Our team quickly identified few patients and we started covering their journey and experiences throughout the disease life cycle . I then approached the plant head and pitched in the idea to him by showing the videos that we had made . He was so impressed and decided to take this forward . We then presented these videos to the workers . All of them were really happy and some even got emotional during the video . They never realised the impact that they were making in the lives of so many people . They got a sense of pride in their work . Needless to say the productivity improved but more than that there was a sense of pride and happiness that made them motivated . This course made me see this as a tool in a new way .

MIND MAPPING IN A FAMILY BUSINESS BY Lavinia Mossad Challenge The challenge I chose is about taking a decision with a family business in Mexico . The family had three gas stations for more than 30 years , it was a family business created with a lot of work , effort and sacrifices . These gas stations were in two different and small towns , in the north of Mexico . The challenge starts at the moment that the owner ( my father ) had to take a decision about the business considering : ● The age ( of the owner ) ● Economic situation of the country ● Looking for stability Selection The tool I selected was Mind Mapping tool , because it is a way to integrate the family member to a decision , and a good way to visualize through participation . The family is conformed by wife , and three daughters , and the main owner . Application We followed the steps of Mind Mapping by : ● Hold a yard sale : We posted financial information , opinion about employees and comments about the member of the family in a room . ● Invite shoppers : The “ Shoppers ” were the family members and very near family friends . ● Offer tours : We asked them to walk around and look around the information posted in the room . ● Pick out the good stuff : we solicited the people considered as shoppers to take share and give any advice and ideas that would help to make a good decision for the family . ● In teams , attendees share their “ good stuff ” and then cluster the good stuff and identify the insights related to each cluster and look for connections between clusters : We made three teams , these were made with family and non - family members , they have to talk about the ideas , presenting the ideas in order ( starting with team one ) and posting them on a big table . In such a way , that the nex team finds similarities between its ideas and the others´s ideas , and complements the ideas . ● Translate the insights into design criteria : In this step we find out a lot of information that was considered important from different points of view . For example remodel the gas station with a different brand and infrastructure , rent the business or sell the business . Having a decision to rent the business for a period of 10 years . Insight The vision or insight we had was about considering the stability and mental health of the family . Renting whas the best option , considering a good way to continue being the owner , but not having the responsibility of the attendance of the business . The opinion from people internal and external of the family helped to think differently , objectively and not just emotional about the decision . Approach If we had the opportunity to do the process again I will choose the same tool , if I had to change something about it would be the offer to participate as a shopper , a supplier and employees , because they are part of the organization and also could have good contributions .

Reflection - mind mapping Challenge and selection The first tool I used was a mind map . workshops and problem - solving sessions , many results shared and presented in fractals . Most of the design ideas we have discussed are intended to guide introduce thinking in a certain way to get information and find new solutions to problems we meet in everyday life . Mind mapping is one of the most effective ways to organize everything these things in an orderly and neat way . In the mind of the map we draw a solution to the problem in a a systematic approach .if we think of something we think about in color , the smell of a place or an object . When we think of a vision , taste a certain food or visit a place , our mind begins to connect with this action with our memories and prior knowledge using the appropriate model . Our brain begins with a a single institutional action , color , taste or image and forms the branches of thought used as the basis of some repetitive ideas . Human thinking is like the branches of a tree thought is linked to other thoughts like tree branches . These same things will help us to solve them the problems we often face in everyday life . Application Mind mapping is seen as one of the most effective tools for thinking and analyzing related ideas topics . Therefore , mind maps can be used in a variety of situations - especially during everyday life and a forum for discussion . A mind map can be used to accomplish the following : During meetings and discussions or when planning to make a mind map of a particular activity it can be a very effective tool . we can think of a map list without missing anything either alternatives . Discuss the idea and find a quick solution . We can solve complex problems and turn them into simple problems so that we can solve them easily It is useful to analyze and analyze the information we provide during our research Our knowledge is available in an intelligent , easy - to - understand way . The above mind map apps are often used in companies , organizations as well educational institutions , as we will examine later . As a college student the mind map in education is the most common thing I use apply in my daily life . Education Awareness Unlike ordinary classroom teaching , visualizing ideas using a mind map helps students think better and break down complex problems into simple ones . It helps students to understand as well analyze ideas and objects and colors . Many students like us often suffer problems to make our thinking easier and tools like mind maps that can help us think better through a consistent process of analyzing problems and finding solutions . Drawings can be used in schools for the following activities : Conditions of creative thinking : In reviewing the search and project thinking a smart thinker can be hired In finding solutions to new problems we use a mind map Training in decision making and cognitive problems using a mind map The conclusion Mind mapping is one of the most effective ways of organizing ideas and analyzing complex situations by dividing things into smaller and smaller parts . It can be used once or combined in other tools for finding solutions with other design thinking techniques . A mind map can be used in various fields such as business and education to achieve the goals we wished to achieve better thinking and collaboration between staff or students . Although standard white board once marker or paper pen is one of the most effective ways of thinking , mind map software and tools that provide additional functions and capabilities such as saving mind maps generated from them different formatting and integration with other applications such as MS Office and MS . Project mind mapping is a paper - based approach that we can use to find solutions in many areas .

Workforce Scheduling - Mind Mapping Challenge : I work as a Data Science Product Manager at a mid - stage marketing tech start - up and responsible for managing the Machine Learning team by coming up with Data Science projects and assigning them based on people ’s expertise and project deadlines defined by the management . Since the company is going through a growth phase , many of us are involved in multiple projects of different levels of priority at a time with interdependencies on each other . Now , it ’s of paramount importance that priorities are well defined so that the project deadlines do n’t suffer , the idle time of people is minimized and redundancy among work is reduced . It ’s a classic case of the employee scheduling problem given the priorities and constraints . The composition of the company comprises of 5 product managers and 20 developers with expertise in engineering , machine learning , back - end , and UI . Generally speaking , each project has a product manager , two engineers , two data scientists , two back - end engineers , and one business analyst . And at a time , there are 10 - 12 ongoing projects . The challenge is to define pipelines for various projects based on their priorities and resource availability in the most effective way . Selection : Mind mapping is a great way to align the organization around a common understanding of the current reality . In the mind mapping process , we capture requirements , priorities , and availability of various stakeholders unified towards the fulfillment of projects within defined deadlines . Colleagues are involved in order to develop a common mind among them regarding the current reality of a design challenge so they are better acquainted with other peoples ’ tasks as well . With this exercise , we ’ll have shared insights from various stakeholders to come to an agreement regarding how to assign resources for various projects in the most optimal manner . Application : With the mind mapping tool , I prepared a set of questionnaires that would address critical problems like a ) availability of employees , b ) the expertise of employees , c ) expected time of project completion , and d ) priorities of their projects . Now , in order to ease out the decision - making process , which is to take into account all employees ’ remarks , this questionnaire is given a limited number of choices for every problem . For instance : a ) Priorities : Very High , High , Medium , Low . b ) Expected time of completion : Half - day , 1 day , 2 days , 3 days , one week , and so on . This division would help to cluster the requirements from various stakeholders . Workforce Scheduling - Mind Mapping This survey is distributed at two levels : 1 ) within a team . 2 ) across teams . Every team conducts an internal discussion to club their requirements and expectations at a team level to propose their availability of resources and priorities across teams . This first round of internal discussion is expected to take one hour . The second round of discussion is inter - team , where product managers would direct the priorities and requirements of the projects and based on these needs , the engineers would indicate their availability , expertise and expected time of completion . Since this round includes all stakeholders with various types of requirements , a debate is expected , and that roughly increases the discussion time to 3 hours . This approach involves dealing with ‘ Very High ’ priorities and ‘ High ’ priorities projects first by assigning them all the resources needed . Followed by availability and expertise taking the center - stage for Medium and Low priority projects . This exercise is conducted once a week . Any change in the status quo is first notified to the respective internal team and it is then taken up in the weekly meetings . Insight : By applying the mind mapping tool , employees now have a clear understanding of the ongoing high priority projects . They ’re better able to manage their time and the roles they are required to play for each project . Since each employee is now aware of the others ’ tasks , they can also provide a helping hand based on their expertise and it ’s lead to less redundancy . Using this tool , we are essentially developing a pipeline for employees considering their project priorities by defining parallel working schedules across teams , making use of reusable components and ensure project deliveries within the defined deadlines . Approach : Given the fact that some creative way of practically achieving the defined company roadmap , that could take in all possible expectations , expertise , and constraints , was required , Mind Mapping Tool is an appropriate tool for this problem . Based on the introduction of new constraints for fresh projects , more features can be brainstormed to include in the survey .

Since the company is going through a growth phase , many of us are involved in multiple projects of different levels of priority at a time with interdependencies on each other . Now , it ’s of paramount importance that priorities are well defined so that the project deadlines do n’t suffer , the idle time of people is minimized and redundancy among work is reduced . It ’s a classic case of the employee scheduling problem given the priorities and constraints . The composition of the company comprises of 5 product managers and 20 developers with expertise in engineering , machine learning , back - end , and UI . Generally speaking , each project has a product manager , two engineers , two data scientists , two back - end engineers , and one business analyst . And at a time , there are 10 - 12 ongoing projects . The challenge is to define pipelines for various projects based on their priorities and resource availability in the most effective way . Selection : Mind mapping is a great way to align the organization around a common understanding of the current reality . In the mind mapping process , we capture requirements , priorities , and availability of various stakeholders unified towards the fulfillment of projects within defined deadlines . Colleagues are involved in order to develop a common mind among them regarding the current reality of a design challenge so they are better acquainted with other peoples ’ tasks as well . With this exercise , we ’ll have shared insights from various stakeholders to come to an agreement regarding how to assign resources for various projects in the most optimal manner . Application : With the mind mapping tool , I prepared a set of questionnaires that would address critical problems like a ) availability of employees , b ) the expertise of employees , c ) expected time of project completion , and d ) priorities of their projects . Now , in order to ease out the decision - making process , which is to take into account all employees ’ remarks , this questionnaire is given a limited number of choices for every problem . For instance : a ) Priorities : Very High , High , Medium , Low . b ) Expected time of completion : Half - day , 1 day , 2 days , 3 days , one week , and so on . This division would help to cluster the requirements from various stakeholders . Workforce Scheduling - Mind Mapping This survey is distributed at two levels : 1 ) within a team . 2 ) across teams . Every team conducts an internal discussion to club their requirements and expectations at a team level to propose their availability of resources and priorities across teams . This first round of internal discussion is expected to take one hour . The second round of discussion is inter - team , where product managers would direct the priorities and requirements of the projects and based on these needs , the engineers would indicate their availability , expertise and expected time of completion . Since this round includes all stakeholders with various types of requirements , a debate is expected , and that roughly increases the discussion time to 3 hours . This approach involves dealing with ‘ Very High ’ priorities and ‘ High ’ priorities projects first by assigning them all the resources needed . Followed by availability and expertise taking the center - stage for Medium and Low priority projects . This exercise is conducted once a week . Any change in the status quo is first notified to the respective internal team and it is then taken up in the weekly meetings . Insight : By applying the mind mapping tool , employees now have a clear understanding of the ongoing high priority projects . They ’re better able to manage their time and the roles they are required to play for each project . Since each employee is now aware of the others ’ tasks , they can also provide a helping hand based on their expertise and it ’s lead to less redundancy . Using this tool , we are essentially developing a pipeline for employees considering their project priorities by defining parallel working schedules across teams , making use of reusable components and ensure project deliveries within the defined deadlines . Approach : Given the fact that some creative way of practically achieving the defined company roadmap , that could take in all possible expectations , expertise , and constraints , was required , Mind Mapping Tool is an appropriate tool for this problem . Based on the introduction of new constraints for fresh projects , more features can be brainstormed to include in the survey . ### Output:

MIND MAPPING FOR TIME MANAGEMENT 1 . Challenge My challenge is time management . Being a final year undergraduate student , currently perusing my Bachelor ’s degree in Interior Design . Design demands long hours of work , with very strict deadlines . Therefore , producing a high quality piece of work within a short time frame can become tiresome and strenuous . As a result , managing coursework requires major organizational skills 2 . Selection For my challenge , I have selected mind mapping . A mind map is a visual diagram typically used to represent tasks , works or images that are linked and arranged around a centralized topic or key idea . This tool permits individuals to build a framework system around this central notion . With regard to my challenge of time management , I believe the mind map tool provides me with an easily understandable view of my project , which I can in turn adapt and adjust as my project progresses . It allows me to create and visualize my ideas and actions , as well as brainstorming and arranging ideas . Therefore , this aids in saving time , improving my problem - solving skills , enhance my imagination , and encouraging better thought processes . 3 . Application The diagram above is a mind map diagram I have created to showcase my application of the tool . I began by separating my project into 5 steps – Define , Ideate , Prototype , Test and Repeat . Within each of these steps , I have further branched out ideas as to how I can achieve that step to be able to quickly and effectively move on to the next . The tool was applied very effectively as I can now use the mind map as a guidelines during each phase of my project so I can clearly and visually understand my current phase and what I would need to do next . 4 . Insight Through the mind map model , I was able to gain insight into and view abstract concepts , establish relationships and patterns between them , incorporate ideas into my existing methodologies and synthesize themes into a simple text . I was able to reinforce my cognitive thinking process , deepen your understanding of my project and locate crucial problems so I can address them timely . 5 . Approach I would try and apply a different tool next time such as the Storytelling tool . This is because some projects and assignments are quite complex and substantial in information and I believe a mind map might be too simple and straightforward in such occasions . Whereas , the storytelling tool helps gain further understanding into a complicated project . Therefore , I can better comprehend a project and it ’s solutions

STORYTELLING REFLECTION Challenge & Selection Storytelling is the tool that I use in most situations . It is a design tool that puts human beings and their experience front and center . It ’s like a catalyst or chemical reaction that masters at leveraging existing resources to spark growth . I work in a bank and face different types of people belonging to different societal levels at all times . Many of these people deal with oppression and dysfunction in every aspect of their lives , hence , they need to be empowered and inspiration is a path to empowerment . The challenge is how I will cope up with their experiences and put one ’s shoe towards the other – hence , impose empathy . Through storytelling , I get to know my clients and even my colleagues more . It ’s like digging in to further understand the business model . It should be noted though that it has to be a two - way approach – sharing of information from the client , and giving in pieces of financial advise to them in return . As a bank employee , it is very important to get to know your clients as part of Due Diligence – not just in documents but to personally dig into the story of their lives if they will be open to do so . Storytelling is a very ideal tool to do this . I use the information provided to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to gain more independence in the areas they find lacking in their lives . Through this also , we ’d be able to know their wants and needs , and further develop products with innovation and competitive advantage to address those . I use their feedback against the context of my story to ascertain their goals , and sometimes we use stories to better understand their interests and thought processes or the business model in a macro level . Application I would like to share a story of personal encounter that I had with my client . I was once assigned to a certain shop and had an encounter with retail clients . In discussing different product offerings with a retail client , I was trying to explain to them the benefits of taking a more client focused approach , among other things , and in particular , the value proposition of a product , its competitive edge among others , the cost and financial benefits of it , etc . I was trying to explain to them the benefits of taking this product in a very concise yet enticing manner . I was also very open in addressing the client ’s query and answers them directly . To note , client was a regular one in our shop and took this opportunity to discuss the benefits of our product , say loans , insurance , i.e. I even asked her if she want to have a cup of coffee before proceeding with the discussion . Client felt so much at ease with me , and raised several questions and showed interest in our discussion . Product offered entails a mutual benefit between us and client . After hours of casual talk and engagement , client was enticed and decided to avail the product that we ’re offering . Client has actually decided of availing insurance product , as she realized that it is very much needed in this time of pandemic . Many has lost their loved ones due to financial crisis and can not afford to send them to hospitals . It is also important to note that in applying storytelling as a tool , customer segmentation , knowing your audience to address their needs are very important factors to be considered . The front - stage / back - stage approach helps to reinforce the notion that every service – even an internal service – has customers with whom the service provider interacts and internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service . In this case , the branch personnel are the client facing , and our product partners for the back stage implementation . Insight & Approach What I have learned in this activity is that storytelling is a very practical approach in Design Thinking , hence , can very much applied in workplace . It ’s a means of putting one ’s shoe with that of the client to further understand their business model and/or current situation . Storytelling is a realistic and upfront approach to see if an opportunity is big and obvious , that we can discuss , further elaborate , and offer products that will address the client ’s needs . Through the above scenario , I was able to learn new things from the client and at the same time I was able to help them in a way or approach that ’s very empathic . It is important for reinforcing their understanding of the problem they are working to solve , the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space . I have also realized that the approach is very important to reach out to the client and to further understand their situation . It is a mutually beneficial approach to meet both end ’s goals . Will continuously use this storytelling approach as I know for a fact that this can greatly help me in the industry where I am in . Grateful for all the learnings in this online discussion !

Mind Mapping Challenge & Selection As a team leader my challenge was to plan and chart the process work flow and brainstorm ideas with my team on different aspects of the problem in each segment ( design , coding and user experience ) . Before learning mind mapping I did n’t have had the proper and easy visual framework which any member of my team could easily understand . The main challenge for me was to make it easy for my team to understand how and what course of action we have to take and be ready to do it with just a glance . As a team leader I was also facing some challenges to keep them engage on the work flow side . When I learned about mind mapping i.e. on week2 it just stroked me to use it with my team . After completing the course , we created 2 mind maps one of the brainstormed ideas where several different ideas were brainstormed and arranged orderly . The second mind map had the process work flow on each segment . Each member of my team had this mind map which made them very clear about the how we are approaching towards goal and they felt engaged . Application : We used tony buzan mind mapping tool to create final two mind maps . We had morning brainstorm session where we set the timer for 10 min and wrote our ideas and subsequently arranged them into our individual mind map . Picking good ideas from each of our mind map of our teammate we were able to create a final mind map which our whole team was aware of and followed to work on those ideas . By afternoon we started working on process flow mind map where we charted out each segment and appointed a so called appointed “ segment hero ” which undertook the responsibility of managing his segment . Each “ segment hero ” managed its own segment to its fullest . This increased our productivity as everyone in our team was aware of and have had the holistic view of the project and also how the other segments are working and what should they be doing . This increased the collaboration and productivity between my teammates . Insight & Approach : The idea of mind map helped me very much and I also took course on udemy called ( mind mapping mastery - > effective mind maps - > step by step by Barry Mapp ) knowing about mind mapping also helped me to plan my weekly routine . Now I use it plan my studying subject I also make mind maps . The above project I am speaking is our CS project . I ’ve tried to implement with my teammates and I believe it was successful because we completed the project before the date of submission . Learning more about mind map I believe that it is very abstract and anyone from any field can apply it in personal or professional life . The context and the framework of the mind map remains the same but the application changes . Our teacher was impressed from our project as we also showed her our final 2 mind maps and she easily followed our work and understood our project from ground up .

Challenge and Selection I will use design thinking methodology to understand elements that lead to success in higher education among first generation and low - income students . Listening to and empathizing with their needs , to gain enormous insights into the types of support services and mentoring first gens feel will help them navigate the academic and social challenges they face from the time they complete high school throughout college . Stories generate questions and questions expand the breadth and depth of stories , leading to lots of innovative thoughts and ideas . Storytelling becomes an important tool for feedback , which is the basis of the iterative process of prototyping that lead to solutions . Stories and prototypes are intertwined , explaining and repositioning experiences through a multitude of potential interpretations , which allow researchers to test new solutions before committing exclusively to a particular policy , program , or service . Design thinking is a methodology for solving problems that focuses on asking questions and listening , with empathy , to the needs of individuals and groups . Storytelling is an “ essential human activity ” for sharing experiences , explaining values , and deciding on solutions through vivid verbal and visual accounts . Application Storytelling helps explain the interconnections among people in situations and settings , teaching broad lessons that engage real human beings . Listening engages people ; and empathy is an essential and fundamental component in the process . One of the practical features of the design thinking process is the ability to get consumer feedback about the product or the service to improve the product in the future . Here , the storytelling can be used to explore how the final product is used in real life and how consumers interact with it in their everyday life . The information collected from the feedback sessions are usually used to improve the future versions of the product . While the storytelling can be used in different stages of the design process , it is a suitable tool to collected personalised experiences from the consumers . It may be hard to build a generalized data based on it because of the different nature of each consumer ’s story , but I believe this is one of the strengths of the tool . It helps us to understand the empathic experience that the users face when using a product or a service . This unique strength point can be valuable for the design thinking process especially when it targets specific problems such as medical interventions or personalised use cases . Insight and approach In sum , the storytelling is a powerful communication tool that enables us as a human being to understand more about our emotional experiences . This makes it an effective method to use during the design process . It can be used during the design thinking process phases with a different goal in each stage . Storytelling can help us to gather personalised emotional data about our consumer ’s experience which can be hard to collect using other research methods such as the survey and consumer journey mapping .

CHALLENGE AND SELECTION To many Product Marketers , new product launch is always a dreadful duty , but it is also a must - win milestone . I was in such position last year when we were launching a new lineup of Refrigerator , BESPOKE . Drafting my product presentation for the launch event , I could feel the pressure weighing on the words I was typing down . Months and years of researching and innovating would all come down to whether the I could captivate the public with this product speech . For a successful presentation , there were many challenges to tackle . Firstly , the audience is of diverse backgrounds , ranging from business partners , retail owners , the press , the influencers , to the daily users . While it usually takes customized languages and different selling points to reach each of these audience groups , I only had one chance and one presentation to impress all of them . Consequently , I chose to treat them all as prospective users and use emotional connections as the common thread . Another challenge is how to deliver cold , hard facts of an electronic product in a compelling and memorable manner . The product itself , the refrigerator , unlike smartphones or design bags , are not personalized nor lifestyle items . To make bullet points of refrigerator features and technology exciting and inspiring , there had to be a logical linkage among them and a bigger cause above them . Thus , the approach I chose was product storytelling – a tool that can answer to the above challenges – with a logical message , a touch of emotion , a simple form for every group of people to digest and relate to , and a greater cause to unite people . ( Martin , 2013 ) APPLICATION In the effort of making the refrigerator not a dull and lifeless food storage appliance , the team and I aimed to position it as a modern home asset to a modern lifestyle . Linking back to Martin ( 2013 ) , this step is fundamental to storytelling : to present a cause rather than just solve a problem . A crucial part of making a compelling story is to know your audience and talk about the things they relate to ( Martin , 2013 ) . In application , my product speech began with a highlight of the 2020s zeitgeist : as people spend more time at home and cook more often than ever , the refrigerator take the center stage and become increasingly important in both functionality and decorativism . Following this premise , I introduced the BESPOKE as the latest invention for modern home appliance - and - décor . Characterized by its modular design , BESPOKE allowed for the flexibility in assembling a fridge that suits your personal need for storage , home space , and aesthetic taste . Emotion - wise , I tried to connect the product meaning with the values of our consumers as well . Understanding the insight that Vietnamese people , having been through the war and economic hardship , value durability and cherish memories greatly , I chose to highlight the BESPOKE ’s practical endurance and emotional bonding aspects as the final note . The flexibility of BESPOKE allows a fridge to turn into a living thing , growing with you as you go from a bachelor to a married couple or to a family of 4 or 5 . As the BESPOKE grows with you , there wo n’t be reminiscence , because the memory lives on in this ‘ memorabilia ’ fridge . INSIGHT AND APPROACH The product storytelling for a refrigerator was a pioneering approach for the home appliance industry in our market . It certainly helped set our brand apart and immensely connected our brand to the customer ’s values . The story was not only a device to grasp the audience ’s attention and understanding , but also a currency for social discussion among the press and the influencers . It gave the public an idea to debate : what social and emotional meaning to modern home appliances , apart from their functionality ? To mark such a difference and to begin such an open discussion was a marketing success . Personally , this application of product storytelling took me to another understanding of the product purpose and user experience as well . In the story that we presented , we stopped framing a refrigerator as a food storage appliance , but we considered it in a broader term : how this object can compliment the lifestyle and the value of the consumers , given what they value ? I only considered these questions only after the product had been innovated . Looking back , I believed this was how the designers and engineers must have questioned and thus , created this product . Storytelling has always been a useful tool in product launch , but next time , I would use this device from the problem definition stage as well . Reference : Brenda Mata [ Mars ] . ( 2013 ) .

LeARning LAunch A learning launch is an experiment conducted in the marketplace quickly and inexpensively . It forms a bridge between customer co - creation and commercial rollout . 1 . Set tight boundaries . Since this is a learning launch and not a pilot , it is important to plan for it to end . Set concrete limits on key variables , such as time , geography , number of customers , features , and partner firms . 2 . Design with a sharp focus on key assumptions . Review the key assumptions that you identified . For those that you indicated will be tested in the market , keep in mind the following when planning your in - market experiment : a. See to it that the prototype reflects the key assumptions you need to test . b. Translate the assumptions you plan to test into specific metrics . c. Be explicit about how you will generate the data you need , especially behavioral data . d. Be explicit about the search for disconfirming data . e. Match the budget to an affordable loss calculation . 3 . Build a team that is both disciplined and adaptive . The composition of the team makes a difference . Yes , you want the passionate supporters of growth and innovation on the squad . But having a few skeptics around will ensure that you are not designing a test to give you the answers you want . Also , someone with a financial perspective is valuable — and project management skills are essential . 4 . Work in fast feedback cycles . The learning launch is when your growth project first makes contact with reality . Expect surprises and be prepared to respond quickly . 5 . make it feel real . A successful learning launch must make it easy for all participants to suspend their disbelief . It needs to feel real to customers , partners , and your internal team . Everyone has something at stake . If it feels like a game or make - believe , then the behavioral data it generates are suspect . 6 . Have back - up plans for everything . As the old adage says , if it can go wrong , it will go wrong . Be prepared for the worst - case scenario . Having a process for handling dissent , resolving conflicts constructively , and adapting on the fly is a great asset to any in - market experiment . priNCipLeS oF a LearNiNg LauNCH What Works ?

Learning launch Challenge As a member of Sourcing & supply chain in my organisation , I belongs from part development team . I have got the challenge to improve the capability of some of my local suppliers to increase their output as per desired level to feed our production line without any interruption & without any quality issues . We have taken this challenge within our sourcing team of particular domain and suppliers team . This project was time bound since either we may have to loose production or to take decision to induct new supplier nearby which involves cost & time both . Selection Our team has study several tools related to design thinking & tools Learning launch suits as one of the best & optimum tools to get the desired outcome as it involved past learning experience & failures to accommodate in next project & get benefits of previous learning to suit the local environment . With this tools we can quickly check our ideas and proto type methods to evaluate the results in better way . Application In our learning launch , we have bifurcated the activities in following structured manner & indicate the action progressively- • To collected the production trend of these supplier since last 3 years • Identified the maximum & minimum output month • Identified the good & bad things happened during maximum & minimum output month • Collect the future projections of these suppliers • Get the ideas of good things happened earlier & planned to implement those things • Analysis the bad things & reason of happening the same • Pokayokas to avoid bad things to happen in design stage itself • Make small improvement project to make the good practice happen • Sustenance & monitoring of good projects & reviews & std frequency with the stakeholder • Identify the bottleneck activity at supplier area • Time study mapping to identify the bottleneck • work towards debottlenecking the same by implementing lean manufacturing implementation at supplier end • Time study & lean manufacturing implementation at supplier end to identify the bottleneck • Check the results at fixed intervals • Standardise the improvement activities by updating necessary documents like Work instructions , control plan , DFMEA , PFMEA etc . • Making the sign off with supplier to desired quantity & quality We have conducted 3 - 4 workshops alongwith different supplier & make progress reports on each criteria . These workshops occurred within a month time . We have modified various process flows & SOPs at supplier end as per revised guidelines . Insights After 2 weeks we are expecting significant changes in performance of these suppliers . Certain things may not go well as per our plan which will be taken as corrective action to improve further efficiency . With help of Learning Launch , team will be quite open to demonstrate the improvement to all the stakeholder with transparency . A sense of ownership will be develop within team which boost the moral to next level & appreciations from Management . Moving forward , team will review this insights & incorporate into our next projects . Approach Given the case , even though team has study the several design thinking tools , this suits the best one to utilise the efficiency of team . Another tools used in this project was mind mapping which held us to create a influencing environment which motivates team as well .

Challenge   I work in a team whose leader loves helping people , organizations , and communities in achieving   their fullest potential . One day , he decided to tackle the problem of productivity , or the lack   thereof , and how we are losing so much potential from too much procrastinating . Thus , our   journey began in discovering ​why ​do​ ​people tend to procrastinate ( or tend to be unproductive )   and ​what ​are the unproductive activities they engage themselves with in lieu of the productive   ones .     The challenge in this endeavour is that we do not have a lot of people in our team to do   participant observation nor do we have the resources to do a launch in an instant . And that we   want to know the reasons behind our audience ’s actions and we need to get personal in order to   know them and understand their reasons .     Selection   Thus , we decided to employ storytelling as our tool to get to know our audience and to unearth   relevant information that will help us in determining how we would help them solve the infamous   problem of procrastination .     According to ​Storytelling Tool - Preparing Your Mind for Innovation​ , a good story is designed for   the audience . It is about the audience . It connects the audience to the product , to the company ,   to the ​cause​. This tool was chosen because we want to know the reasons behind people ’s   unproductivity and how people perceive productivity and lack thereof . We want to understand if it   is human nature to become procrastinators or were there reasons behind them being one . I   believe that in using Storytelling , people will be more comfortable talking about a “ negative ” part   of themselves .     Application   We put up a form online which was shared through multiple channels . The form helped us in   determining the “ subjects ” of our storytelling . To our surprise , there were a lot of responses from   individuals willing to tell us their side of the coin .      In the end , we chose three respondents each team member ( we are 5 in the team ) . The   respondents we chose varied from students , employed professionals , self - employed individuals ,   freelancers , and housewives / house husbands .     It was up to the discretion of the team member if he / she would conduct an interview or a focused   group discussion . What we have agreed upon however was we would let our respondents do the   story telling , we would not be telling ​our ​story .     “ ​What do you do in a day?​ ” was our primary question that helped trigger the respondents to   share varying answers and stories about their everyday lives . We learned about what each of our   respondents do everyday , from waking up to sleeping . We learned about how they structured their day , what they feel when things do not go according to plan . They shared what they usually   do to fight off boredom or sleepiness . They also shared what makes certain tasks boring for   them . Different answers but they all have two common points : a ) if it would be that easy , then   they wish to be productive everyday , and b ) too many unorganized tasks / repetitive tasks is what   causes them to stray away from track .     Insight   What I learned from what happened is that people are not being unproductive because they want   to . They do not want to waste their time being distracted too . That there are several reasons ( one   of them is that they have too many tasks to do that they do not know how to organize them ) why   they seem to become unproductive . The whole process helped us in re - thinking about the   solution that we had first thought of ( just constant reminders to do daily tasks ) . Because of our   findings , we are now trying to think of ways to help people be more organized     This also helped me in appreciating the Storytelling tool . We sometimes take our audience ’s   opinions for granted , thinking that previous reviews and feedbacks about similar solutions were   already enough information . It served as a great reminder that our customers are human beings   with various , ever - changing experiences and needs that we need to take into consideration if we   want to address their problems .     Approach   Lastly , if we were ever to re - do this again , I think applying the Storytelling tool will still be the best   approach to take . It helped and will help us to gain insights to real - world problems from the   perspective of real human beings whose experiences and needs are communicated if only we let   them share their stories . We are creating solutions for them , not us , so we must hear them again   and again if needed .

Challenge & Selection : The Visualization tool is strongly effective tool in design thinking process to solve the problem . I used this tool of Visualization , or Visual Thinking , to achieve a shared understanding of a problem of innovative graphic design to identify and define possible solutions to the problem . I use this approach often with our customers , who are different small and big companies or individuals working to apply technology innovations to modernize their mission or the delivery of their services to their customer , which may be citizens , businesses , and non - citizens . I have used the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem domain with a set of questions or prompts for discussion to allow a diverse group of customers to learn from each other in the process of defining the scope , boundaries , key elements , and relationships between elements to consider when identifying pain points and opportunities for improvements or solutions . Application : I start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . To develop the straw man graphic , I will draw from any existing material available to understand the environment . The existing material may be operational or procedural documents , training materials , marketing materials , GAO or other auditing reports . If materials are not available , then I conduct informal interviews with one- three of the stakeholders who serve as my main points of contact on the initiative . If appropriate to the situation , I will borrow the concept to “ front - stage / back - stage ” from previous research , and discussed in David Gray ’s book , “ The Connected Company ” . The front - stage / back - stage approach helps to reinforce the notion that every service – even an internal service – has customers with whom the service provider interacts and internal processes that enable the organization to provide the service . The template I often start with also has a column on the left to identify Partners and Value Chain Providers and a column on the right to identify Oversight Organizations , such as Congress , GAO , labor unions , advocacy groups , and other entities that may add constraints to how the organization operates . The straw man graphic is simple , using simple shapes and icons available in Visio or on the Internet . If the front - stage / back - stage view does n’t work , then I will create a different type of visual , either based on a high - level process flow with swim lanes for different stakeholders , or another format . For the activity , I will divide the stakeholders into groups of 5 - 6 participants each representing a different organization or area of interest . Each group receives a poster - size copy of the straw man graphic that they can write on directly , or use sticky notes to make comments . I give them two - three questions to answer , such as : 1 ) What key elements are missing from the graphic ? 2 ) What would you change about the graphic to make it more accurately reflect your problem space ? 3 ) What key insights do you have about the relationships between the entities in your problem space ? I give them approximately 20 minutes to discuss the questions and mark up the graphic . Then I have each group report out on their answers to those three questions while pointing to the mark - ups on their poster . As each group reports out , I record commonalities in the insights of each group , and then additional insights that come from the group discussion on an additional copy of the graphic . After the session , I digitize each group ’s poster as an artifact , create a view that combines the shared and new insights from the group discussion , and then create a revised graphic that incorporates their feedback and proposed changes that they agreed to as a group .

Mind Mapping ( Module 3 ) Challenge In the third part we use a tool called mind map that in principal means that you have to put all the relevant information about a topic and this would help to understand better the topic that is in the organizer . Also in this type of organizer we can found a lot of kind of mind maps for example , in the classification of them , the most important are Library mind maps for information organizing , Presentation mind maps for presenting ideas and projects and Tunnel timeline mind maps for organizing or making a project plan . Selection It is a powerful graphic technique you can use to translate what 's in your mind into a visual picture . Since mind mapping works like the brain does it allows you to organize and understand information faster and better . Then , in my opinion I think that this tool is a very good option to take some decisions because with this tool you can see the most relevant information and the main point about a topic and I choose this tool because I think that is very useful in the industry because it gives a better view about an item and in some time the people that use this could found the problem with this incredible tool in my opinion . Application We can applied this tool in four main techniques or applications . First get creative , gather Requirements , bridge silos , brainstorm and finally collaborate . When we use a mind map it allows that Subject Matter Experts and/or their audience make cross references and it turns easily function as an instrument for collaboration during a kick - off meeting , in their we can included notes , links , attachments , images and even connect multiple mind - maps within a single map , making it a one stop - shop for collaboration . This tool is a visual representation during a project kick - off meeting or the front end analysis phase . In second instance the other application is that this tool is allow to assess prior knowledge , give an overview , create power - notes and build engagement . A lot of people use mind maps for example trainer to spark and facilitate discussions and the participants get the ability to contribute to group discussions , and report back with the help of a mind map . Adult learners bring a wealth of prior knowledge into the classroom . Other application is when we use it for present , outline , summarize , consolidate and storyboard . Mind maps can easily be turned into broad outlines of course objectives , as a word or a power point format and also we can use for feedback . Outlines provide a high - level overview which helps summarize and consolidate information . A semi - detailed map is a great instrument for power - notes , as well as a road map for an agenda . To finish the last one way that we can applied is in a project management , that is use to complete and comprehensive mind map can be used to delegate phases of the project . Mapping also helps set up priorities , create deadlines , action items , budgets , constraints and dependencies . Insight With the use of this tool I could say that it brings me more knowledge and it also in my opinion is a very good tool and when I was working with this tool my work became more easily I can say because with this tool I have more organized ideas and also the main thing about the topic of my project and if I want to say more about the knowledge with this tool is great because you can use this for a lot of things and activities . Approach In the next time that I will use this tool something that I will change is that maybe I will have only the main information for my study because in this way I can make an analysis and I think I would not change tool because I think that is a great option to learn and more easily to take decisions that now in the world is very important .

Mind Mapping Challenge At my employer , which operates in the import and distribution of food products , new management started the conversation about empowering the sales force to make more decentralized decisions , to allow them to seize opportunities that can not be predicted or planned by the headquarters . In this context my team , IT , has been tasked with ensuring that the sales reporting available to them is fit for purpose . Selection In the initial as - is steps we proceeded with ethnological interviews and collected data from two main groups within the company : form sales representatives and their management and from the IT analysts who work with the sales department . We used semi - structured interviews which included open questions , to ensure we capture individual experiences and stories . This provided a large volume of information , in different formats , like statistics , such as response times or how often each available report is used , but more important , individual stories detailing the gaps between the needs of the sales reps and the current capabilities . With tens of stories collected we thought that the best approach is to use mind mapping . Application The findings were presented to a group of decision makers mixed with the most insightful interviewees using a large wall in a conference room . Some grouping them into themes was done in advance , but as well the full text results of interviews were displayed . The participants have been provided with time to read through all materials in advance of the session and prepare their notes . After that they split in three different groups , in separate meeting rooms , and discussed and aligned their findings . In the next steps each of the groups presented their approach to the entire team . The complete group worked from there to restate the findings as insights . Insight The principal finding was that although we focused on IT systems and sales reps , the most important element to the data used was the existence in the organization of the employees in sales analyst roles , which were overloaded and often unable to process requests in due time . That was due to a few reasons : reports were lacking deep dive functionalities and detailed analyses had to be requested to the analysts on ad - hoc bases ; the business intelligence solution could not combine data from some of the applications , and cross - functional reports must be manually generated in excel ; the reports did not have phone - screen friendly versions ; there was no visual alignment between reports , for example one will produce colorful pie - charts while another uses bar charts in shades of grey , so they had to be reworked when a presentation was done to an external client . A simplified insights chart would look like this : If we would have used a traditional approach , for example focusing on collecting numerical data and improving performance parameters , we would have missed this insight , and the follow up journey that we embarked on , by defining the criteria for our future , re - designed sales reporting tool to be a self- service , visual reporting tool that gives the sales rep direct access into existing data and the ability to create bespoke reports in a simple intuitive way . Approach Reflecting on the approach , one step that we could have done differently is to follow the individual interviews with group discussions of the same people that were initially interviewed . The advantage would be to eliminate the noise in the original findings before starting the mind mapping activities with the decision makers . To give an example some sales reps mentioned the unavailability of WiFi while out of office , which turned out is was due to the lack of training in creating a mobile hotspot . Additionally , such discussion between peers might have helped uncovering more issues and generating more ideas from the sheer interaction .

Design Thinking Feb 7 , 2016 Al Kain Design Thinking Tools used for Aspira Diagnostics Ltd Background : I run a small biotech company in India – ICT Center It is predominantly focused on making diagnostic reagents . The company has a young and knowledgeable product development team . Within a decade of its initiation , the company has established itself in the global market as an assured source of quality material . The top diagnostic companies in the world are our customers . However , the segment we have chosen is small and niche and there is limited scope of expanding the business . With this background , we set up an internal team to review possible options for diversification . The obvious choice was to forward integrate and make diagnostic kits . However , this was a risky option . One , because it meant directly competing with our existing customers and secondly the business needed complete change of the model we had followed . The top team was not willing to jeopardize its relations with the customers . I was therefore given the responsibility of looking out for options for expanding the business . One of the possible business option was to go a step down the value chain – to set up a Pathology Lab so that we would not compete with our customers and in fact become their customers . Logically , this seemed the best strategy but we knew nothing of the Pathology Lab business and there were established players in the market . In order to develop an innovative business model and identify value preposition from the point of the stakeholders , I used a combination of following tools – Journey Mapping , Visualization and Mind Maps . A brief of the insights obtained , points of differentiations identified and the development of business model is provided in this note . Journey Mapping and Visualization : I identified various stakeholders in the Pathology Lab business and mapped their journey . The diagram overleaf provides a snapshot of that journey . I actually visited local labs and mapped this journey . From the journey the following things were evident :  The patient had to spend substantial time in moving from the Clinic to the Lab several times .  The patient was incurring out of pocket expenses like travelling , loss of mandays etc even for now value adding activities like collecting the samples , sharing results with Clinicians etc .  The results were delayed because of sample logistics and this resulted in delayed treatment .  I found that the cost of things like loss of mandays for self and the person accompanying the patient , travelling costs and other out of pocket expenses were as high as the cost of testing and treatment for routine diseases .  The cost of a re - test and the second iteration of this process was at least repeated once for every patient . Design Thinking Feb 2 , 2017 I interviewed the Patients and realized that there were many different sub - groups of patients – Pediatric , Neonatal , Elderly Patients , Working men and women , people suffering from infectious diseases and chronic diseases etc . Each of these patient had different requirements . For example , I made the following observations for the elderly diabetic people who need regular blood sugar testing to be done . a ) They prefer a phlebotomist to come and collect the sample from their home . b ) Because of their age and disease they are anxious whether the phlebotomist would come on time or not . Clinician Checks and Recommends a Test Patients goes to a Patholgy Lab Lab collects samples and the testing charges Patient comes after a day ( or more ) to collect result Lab hands over the results Visits Clinic with results Physician prescribes medicines or asks for addn tests Can it be done internally ? Run the test Yes Sends sample to ref Lab No Sample reaches ref lab Lab confirms receipt of payment from local lab Lab runs test Provides result to local lab Patient Journey Lab Testing Journey Design Thinking Feb 7 , 2016 c ) They are anxious whether the results would show a substantial increase in their blood sugar level . d ) If there is a little delay in the collection or in the reporting then they get irritated . These insights would be extremely important in designing the logistics of sample collection as well as dealing with such patients . Insights from the use of design thinking tools : The tools have provided many insights to develop a business model that meets the unmet and unstated needs of various stakeholders . Some of these are : a ) A solution needs to be developed so that the multiple trips of the patient to the clinic and labs can be minimized . This will reduce cost as well as expedite the treatment available to the patient . b ) We need to clearly develop specific programs for the various patient categories . Each of them have a different and unique requirement and this fact is being ignored by the existing players in the market . c ) The automation and IT systems used in the lab are disconnected . Therefore , a patient needs to be registering every time in different centers of the same lab . Also , the report generated by LIS is printed and physically delivered to the patient instead of using tools like emails , whatsapp , text messages etc . The clinics , the labs and the patient are not connected together through any IT system . It is therefore necessary in the what - if and what - wow stage of this project to identify solutions that could make this possible . d ) Most of the lab focus on collecting the samples and forget to acknowledge the emotional requirements of the patient in trauma . Thus , the ambience of the labs is not made comfortable and relaxing . No lab offers counseling service to the patient . We need to identify possible solutions and conduct a launch test in the next phase . End note : The design thinking training was indeed useful to me for the assignment undertaken in my organization . It helped me to look beyond the obvious . It made me shift my focus from me - too solutions to a holistic solution that addressed the need of all the stakeholders . The insights obtained from the what - is stage of this project would be useful in the subsequent phases of the project .

Thus , the ambience of the labs is not made comfortable and relaxing . No lab offers counseling service to the patient . We need to identify possible solutions and conduct a launch test in the next phase . End note : The design thinking training was indeed useful to me for the assignment undertaken in my organization . It helped me to look beyond the obvious . It made me shift my focus from me - too solutions to a holistic solution that addressed the need of all the stakeholders . The insights obtained from the what - is stage of this project would be useful in the subsequent phases of the project . ### Output:

Mind Mapping Challenge My team is interested in investing in a new food delivery system in Peru . Nowadays , our country has some issues finding an effective way to transport food and other essential products from markets and neighborhood stores to homes , due to the current Covid-19 mandatory quarantine . For this reason , we want to create a new alternative delivery system , that would be effective , faster , safer , and would reduce the risk of infection than the existing systems in the Peruvian market ( for example Uber Eats ) . Selection Our team has used the Mind Mapping tool to hear some experiences from customers and market providers ( stakeholders ) , and looking for patterns and insights that will help us identify delivery food alternatives . Application We started doing some interviews with stakeholders , customers that either use or not a delivery system , market providers , and with people working on deliveries . Because of the quarantine , all the interviews were done through the Zoom platform . In every interview , we have the opportunity to learn more about the current delivery system , how it works , and what ’s more important for costumers . For example , most customers prefer to pay by credit card to avoid direct contact with the delivery person . Also , some of them would pay extra for a drone service , where the product is left in their front door , avoiding contact with other people . Food providers indicated that they had to reinvent their business . In some cases , they closed their restaurants and started to deliver fruits and vegetables in their neighborhoods . After we completed the interviews , my team and I used Google Slide to put some ideas in virtual sticky notes , clustering the ideas that were similar and identify the insights of our stakeholders . For us , and because of the current quarantine , the Mind Mapping tool is an effective tool and a very good option to reach out to the stakeholders . Insight By applying the Mind Mapping tool , I learned about how the food delivery system works as a business . Also , I was able to be in touch with the real costumers of these services and see how their priorities have changed due to Covid-19 . Now , they prefer clean and sanitized products rather than a fast delivery , and after - sale service . In the case of the providers , most of them have closed their business and changed the line of it or renewed . Some of them , are indebted to banks , and to survive , they use their cars or bicycles to transport food for a very low price , creating a new form of delivery in our country . With this tool , I discovered other ways to deliver essentials products , I also got the opportunity to meet people who despite losing their jobs or have closed their business , have kept high sanitary standards . We can create opportunities as social labor while at the same time protecting people from Covid-19 . Approach For me , this tool is amazing and I will use it in other projects . The Gallery portion of this tool is very useful for research , because of the given the circumstances , it was impossible to gather with people in person . Instead , the video call was a good alternative for our research .

CHALLENGE & SELECTION : The first tool I can use is going to be visualization . Through this technique I can figure out what to do and figure out what our customers might want or react to how we use the products or services to portray sales and marketing . For instance , through this technique , we can decide what strategies can be used to attract the customers towards our service . My service is to provide an online dance platform to the people who seek to learn dancing as a professional basis and live far away . Also , to those interested people who want to do the activity just for fun or for staying fit . This idea selection has been chosen because through this technique we can try to get customer insights , feedback and whatever is required and then decide how to launch the service through the visualization technique . APPLICATION : The tool I choose would be the Visualization tool as I feel I can use it to interact well with customers , figure out the needed feedback and the insights and then base my main action plan based on that . This would be helpful indeed and the plan hence would not go to fail . I start this process by figuring out how to send forward the service and figure out how the presumably customers are going to react to it . From what I have learnt during the module and the course , the first course of action would be to see what we know and then only move on to what we do . Hence , we will revisit our existing knowledge of what we know and how we can deal with it in a strategic and marketing way in order to capture more people as customers in a smart way so as to make profit to the customers and the company as well . We know we have the details of the interested people who would want to avail of the service . We can try putting forward a free trial session to attract more and more people . Through this method , an interested customer to avail the free session can share the information with his or her friends and family . Word of mouth would be a very well worked method . Moreover , we can interact through our social media handles to gain customer insights and raise more awareness and customers as well . Visualization can be used in this process of social media interaction to find out what to do about the main action plan at hand . For instance , this was just a free trial whereas , after getting the insights we can know exactly what dance style people enjoy learning more , what are the timings they would prefer learning at ? INSIGHT : This insight helped me realize that this design tool can be used effectively and or better results . This will in turn make the product or service something which people or customers would be willing to work for and avail the services . This tool is helpful in many ways . One can put out an entire storyboard and figure out how everything in the plan is going to be taking place . Moreover , everyone can be on the same page when sharing or speaking about ideas . The storyboard helps people understand what is to be done and everyone can understand things equally . APPROACH : Using the same tool of visualization , what I would do differently would be to perhaps speak to all the team members and ask them to prepare a storyboard too , so that we can all check if all of us are on the same page or if there are any other ways or ideas to carry out the plan . Next time , we can try to find out what everyone has to offer and apply the best method to approach these targets of the company .

Example reflection – Visualization Challenge & Selection the Visualization tool was the one I first used . Thanks to it I was able to translate and explain my ideas to various people who either did not depend on technical terms or simply did not see the big picture I had in mind . I was able to explain the problem through Visual thinking and explain the solution to the latter problem in simple word since using the Visualization tool simplify the process of explanation . This approach can be used by anyone and does not require any prerequisite or others . I remember using this approach often when I had a group project in college . I worked with different types of people , those who got it easily and those who needed time to understand . In the " Good Kitchen " video , they mentioned how the visualization was about making it tangible and concrete . An idea could seem well off , but if we make it as concrete as possible , we could then move on to the next step which is the implementation and discussion of all possible routes o success . There was this project where we had to design a fire alarm from scratch . The fellow students that were with me had no experience in doing anything from scratch . Since I already had some experience , I took the initiative to explain the process in doing it from A to Z. of course engineering does require some planning , so talking was not enough for them . And the process seemed very long . Therefore , I decided to visualize the process instead of writing it down . Honestly , it brightened up the mood in my group as the students were already exhausted . Application As I remember one of the videos about " the Good Kitchen " , it said at some point that visualization was the " what wows ? " . We need to make it tangible and concrete for others to grab our big picture step by step . So , I mapped out the process from A to Z , starting from the brainstorming of ideas , selecting the best design , discussing the possible downsides of it , discussing the materials to be used to construct the design , and so on . Of course , the whole process was tiring for some time , but in the end , it was worth it . Some steps were taking more time to achieve than others . For instance , getting the materials was a complex task as we had to get them delivered from another city way far from where our college was located . But in case some of those materials were delivered broken or non - working , we had to take them back and wait again for the next delivery . Sometimes , we had to map out other alternatives to those materials that took time to be delivered . Visualization is about being realistic , and so we had to be realistic about the project and the deadline . We then , went on site to search for that equipment and visualize how the alternatives could replace the one we already agreed on . When everything was there for us to start constructing the prototype , we had to draw the design again as some tools were changed for others ( alternatives ) . I suggested to my teammates to get rid of the old design as it was not relevant anymore . And to be true , I was right . We had to do the process again from scratch . It took some time but , in the end , everyone grabbed the whole picture , and finally , we could start creating our very first prototype . Insight & Approach What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that they need to comprehend the problem we are trying to solve and getting their insights is a primordial point to solve the issue in exchanging ideas . When we gather all together , we get to know more about each other and how we view the problem and the solution . The mapping has helped us in defining what has been done yet and what is left to be done . It has also helped us create more alternatives and add more approaches that some of us have found in the way of discussion . The design phase was the stage of our work that had the most modifications . Pretty much all the group members have put up their idea at least once on that graph and of course , no judgments have been shown when the insights were discussed . Through these meeting sessions , we were able to identify what was missing in our design , what was additional , and so on . And eventually , we each gained additional insights on our project and a new vision of how to complete it . Moreover , I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning that each one of us contributes to the work . Next time , the visualization tool would be a prominent tool for me to us accomplish my work .

Challenge It is always challenging to work with innovation for companies with a long time in the market and that has traditional processes of management . A building materials sales company has come to us to expand the sale of their products through the creation of a virtual store . A challenge identified in the early steps of the project It was the wide variety and quantity of products . We needed to understand how best to display the most relevant products to the user by reducing search time and creating a better experience with using the site . Selection The first step was to understand the relevance and the relation between the products , and that involved a large volume of data and several people involved . During the meetings we needed to work on a single and collaborative path , for this we use the visualization tool . The choice of the visualization tool came with the objective of making the interpretation of the data a consensual work . Following this purpose , the visualization tool served as a facilitator in our meetings . “ When we 're talking and we 're verbalizing things we see things internally , but we may all be understanding the words in a slightly different way . The beauty of using visualization is that we can tap into a single ​ picture​. The more you begin to use pictures , the more that you begin to diagram while you talk , and create a visual image for people of how you are thinking . The , more likely you are to achieve a sense of agreement and consensus with people , the more you are likely to draw out conversation . ” Angela Meyer ( Video lecture : Visualization Tool ) Application Meetings for analysis of the data were made together with professionals of the company , during the meetings were analyzed the products and the data of the last sales . The analysis was focused on two questions : 1 ) Which products were top sellers ? 2 ) What products did they relate to during the sale ? The simple way to illustrate this date was to write the categories of the products on adhesive papers and to group the most sold in groups of 1 to 4 . Then each categories was connected to the others that are related during the sale . That way we could organize the data and find out which products are featured and which products could be suggested to the user when something is selected , so we can continue the sale through an anticipatory system . Insight and Approach With the visualization tool , I was able to apply a better way to conduct an approach dealing with complex data involving many people . A data organization brought a new insight into the products and consumer behavior during the buy , the process was a learning experience for our staff and the customer . Such data will serve as a start for the first digital marketing campaigns and the first tests with the virtual store . The result was very satisfactory , while using the tool the environment became more collaborative where everyone was working on the same idea at the same time , the visualization created a clear and logical line of thought . In the next moment I will try to apply the visualization tool in previous stages of the project , creating from the beginning the culture of collective thought . I will also look for a way to document and share the results of the visualization process .

The , more likely you are to achieve a sense of agreement and consensus with people , the more you are likely to draw out conversation . ” Angela Meyer ( Video lecture : Visualization Tool ) Application Meetings for analysis of the data were made together with professionals of the company , during the meetings were analyzed the products and the data of the last sales . The analysis was focused on two questions : 1 ) Which products were top sellers ? 2 ) What products did they relate to during the sale ? The simple way to illustrate this date was to write the categories of the products on adhesive papers and to group the most sold in groups of 1 to 4 . Then each categories was connected to the others that are related during the sale . That way we could organize the data and find out which products are featured and which products could be suggested to the user when something is selected , so we can continue the sale through an anticipatory system . Insight and Approach With the visualization tool , I was able to apply a better way to conduct an approach dealing with complex data involving many people . A data organization brought a new insight into the products and consumer behavior during the buy , the process was a learning experience for our staff and the customer . Such data will serve as a start for the first digital marketing campaigns and the first tests with the virtual store . The result was very satisfactory , while using the tool the environment became more collaborative where everyone was working on the same idea at the same time , the visualization created a clear and logical line of thought . In the next moment I will try to apply the visualization tool in previous stages of the project , creating from the beginning the culture of collective thought . I will also look for a way to document and share the results of the visualization process . ### Output:

Challenge I lead the Innovation and Incubation cell in my organization which is tasked with the responsibility of developing new scalable businesses . Identifying spaces which can be explored around adjacency and core competence of the company is something which is defined by us in terms of frames . However , the actualization of ideas in terms of concepts which has coherence with our hypothesis and assumptions is always a challenge . Often we have a pipeline of ideas but how these will work in the marketplace is always questionable and based on certain assumptions . These assumptions can be around the actual market potential of the concept , the response of the consumers in terms of the purchase and usage behavior and the route to market which is optimum in terms of reaching out to the target segment taking into consideration the cost targets . Also positioning of the product based on the category and branding related challenges like brand , tagline resonating in the minds of the consumers are also important . Selection One of the Design Thinking tools which I find very appropriate to address the challenges mentioned above is Learning Launch . I feel an idea on paper is not worth the salt until and unless it is tested out in the market with consumers and the relevant channel . Learning launch is a good way to get a quick understanding on how the target consumer is perceiving the product , what are the key value propositions , attributes to be improved and taken into account during versioning which is building the next prototype . This is also a platform which helps in testing different route to market- the cost and efficacy . Application One of the instances , I used this tool was while developing a product around storage solutions in Indian homes . The product was targeted at a segment which was premium , at the same time probably a moving population which will need their furniture to be modular so that they can carry it around while moving into different cities . The segment was also perceived to be wanting quick solutions as time is constraint for them . We selected a city for this learning launch which had this kind of a population and placed the product in 2 outlets of furniture to gauge the response . Also the product was promoted in societies where similar segment existed . There was activation campaigns in malls as well as major newspapers of that city . The branding was stylish and premium to resonate with the target group of consumers . The route to market was largely physical as the hypothesis was customers will like to physically interact with the product before making purchase decision in this category . Promotion was through both digital and physical media . Insights Some of the key insights developed was that the walls of the Indian homes are not standardized and hence any storage solution needs high degree of customization which is difficult to achieve in mass manufacturing which our company is into . While population might move around but when it comes to furniture , any feature like modularity is also perceived as something which is not sturdy or durable . People want to have a feeling of permanency around their houses and furniture and much rather sell of their furniture while moving to a new home . Consumers in premium space are not looking for furniture which they can carry around but they are willing to have a product for 5 - 10 years in their home and then replace . The choice of the material for storage solution is also important since in Indian homes wood is perceived to be premium while material like steel , plastic or MDF / HDF ( different compressed wood varieties ) are not perceived as premium even though they might be of the best quality . Approach This learning actually helped me to also understand that a consumer testing to validate the preliminary hypothesis before moving into a Learning Launch can be useful as you may make certain modifications into the prototype itself . Secondly , it is always best to do Learning Launch in 2 different areas instead of one especially in a country like India which has got cultures which are very diverse separated by geographies . Also Learning Launch might not be designed at a city level but a block / district level which will limit the expenses made during the Learning Launch and allow for quicker and more sublime changes .

Reflection – Story Telling Challenge and Selection I have been a snooker player for over 15 years and have played several local league tournaments back in India . One of the things that most successful players have done in this space is start early to play , practice , and subsequently master this game . In India where cricket is the national sport , and every child wants to be a great cricketer like Sachin Tendulkar or MS Dhoni , it is very difficult to get increased participation from students and more importantly educational institutions who know who a Ronnie O’Sullivan or Judd Trump is . The goal to get them to sign up with these games and to come to training facility was almost an impossible task . During my career as an Operations Managers in a large BPO organization I was based in New Delhi for a period of 2 years , when I decided that I would try and create an institution which will help train the future Indian stars in the world of Billiards and Snooker . It was easy to create and form SPIN ( Snooker & Pool India Network ) a startup focused on this one goal “ to increase the number of players from India into the domestic professional circuit ” . The missing link between visualizing this myself vs making this a reality was going to be getting everyone we went to offer this as service to understand the cause and not look at it as a problem which needs a solution . Therefore , coming up with a great story as well as connecting with the right audience became critical . Like mentioned by Milton Pineda in his video “ it 's not about the list of things we have to do , it 's about the connection that we give to people via storytelling that brings a different element . ” Application To create this really great story and to be able to effectively help the audience connect to it , I will have to be accurate about who was going to be listening to this story . I will consider and invite 4 group of individuals to come listen to the story and hopefully some or most of these individuals would be inspired to enroll with SPIN . 1 . First group of individuals are the experts in the field ( professional players , coaches and even local club owners who promoted the sport ) . This group will become my biggest critic and will be able to connect to the cause the quickest as they all would have faced difficulties coming up to the level they were at . These individuals in their time would have hoped to get access to a facility like the one SPIN would offer and benefit from the support of technology when they were amateurs . 2 . The second group will be aspiring good players who play at a local club . These players may not necessarily be able to sponsor a membership to a training program or even if they could join were looking at playing the sport as a hobby . They were great players but had never been exposed to the benefits of structured training program , most would have learnt the game by chance just visiting a local pub for a party which had a pool table 3 . The third group of individuals would be individuals on Sports Committees in schools who made final selections / recommendations of which sports are included into the school / college curriculum . They would almost have an unknown bias to include sports such as cricket , basketball or volleyball since these games were more widely watched , played , and wanted by parents . If we talk about large international education institutions in India , they will also promote sports such as Squash , Horse riding but they had no idea how big a sport snooker has been for the past 50 years let alone the fact that it actually started in India 4 . The 4th and last group was a parents from different cultures , different walk of life . Parents of children who went to local school and parents of students who went to international school . The reason to mix this up was to extend the understanding of the sport to all type of students and parents . The goal of SPIN was to extend the facility to everyone who wanted to take up the game , one aspect of this meant to make it affordable to everyone . Once we had the right audience the first step was to sell the challenge . Utilizing very little data in this discussion and using combination of detailed questions along with feedback forms the audience was gathered in a club with snooker tables around them . As Milton has described in his video this helped create the required energy along with passion and excitement as the participants found a purpose for themselves in the story . While the players , coaches and other players felt at home , the parents were a bit unsure of the venue . As the session progressed , the players were given an opportunity to engage in a discussion to describe their struggle getting to the level of the game they are at . The coaches were able to provide the importance of these trainings and therefore more interest and sense of purpose behind enrolling for a structured program was understood . The parents and the Sports Committee team members were exposed to a new dimension of sport which existed , but they were completely unaware of its potential . Insight and Approach Story telling therefore resulted in increased awareness of the sport but most importantly for SPIN this meant we had been successful at grabbing the attention of mass population across different support groups . We saw that we had an increase of 12 % more inquiries for such a session again . Parents of close to 30 students enrolled for the training program . 2 Colleges asked for a formal proposal on setting up a training facility in their premises to provide training to students who would like to opt for the program . The feedback which was gathered during this first session helped improve several other session and helped greatly during the visualization exercise . Through story telling the strategy to increase the number of professional snooker players had become very simple but more importantly each individual felt connected to the cause .

Reflection - Mind Mapping Challenge : I am an educator and I encourage my students to work on different projects that are real world problems which help them learn better and use information to define a problem and generate ideas to solve the problem . I often face the problem with students not able to collate information in a way that can help them find problems/ patterns in the provided or gained data or even organise the information in a better way . As students are required to gain a lot of data for a particular overarching issue it becomes confusing to understand which area to focus on to define a problem and generate an idea . The data does not allow the students to focus on different issues , it also does not help them collate ideas from peers thus missing out on patterns in their data that might help them to define a particular problem and generate ideas . Students are thus focusing only on the already existing solutions as the lack of understanding patterns in data does not allow them to generate better ideas . Selection : The tool I selected was mind mapping as it really helps students understand patters in their already gained data . Mind mapping is an effective design thinking tool for people ( students in this case ) to organise their thinking , put forth data in an effective way , look for patters or themes or repetition in their data . This in turn helps better understanding , defining the problem that can be understood from the already gained data and also analyse the data in a way to generate insights or ideas about the problem and for the problem respectively . Mind Mapping has helped students organise their data in a better way , understand patterns in their data and also collaborate with their peers in an effective way leading them to better idea generation . With Mind mapping students were able to understand the genuine problem , define the problem ( what is stage ) and generate better ideas ( what if stage ) . Application : I used mind mapping in one of my class where students were supposed to solve problems related to stubble burning that happens in the farms and how it affects the farmers and their field in the long run and the environment as well . Students collected data about what is stubble burning , how often do people follow it in the near by area , the hazards of stubble burning , effect on the environment , the farmers and their farms ( soil ) . After collecting a lot of data on students were not able to organise the data and collaborate with each other to define a specific problem under stubble burning . Thus I used the mind mapping tool in the class with the help of some interactive online boards which made it a little more interesting for students to put forth their data in the form of the mind map . After putting forth their data in the mind map students were able to analyse patterns in their data . The pattern that they came across was how stubble burning over the years has caused problems to the environment by releasing harmful gases which not only have an effect on the climate but were also affecting the children of the farmers with the respiratory diseases . In the mind map they came across a pattern that most of the farmers and their families had a history of respiratory diseases specifically affecting children and pregnant mothers which lead to children born with disease like asthma . Understanding the patterns in the mind map also gave students a better way for idea generation . Students were able to effectively generate an idea that could decrease stubble burning , which will lead to decrease amount of harmful gases in the environment which in turn will decrease the number of respiratory illness the families of the farmers suffered . Insight : The insight I gained after using mind mapping tool to solve this problem are as follows : • Using the tool helps students understand that their in a much more deeper way than they would if the tool was not used • Students were able to analyse the data with more criticality and use the data in the most effective way possible for better idea generation • The tool is simple to use and organises the way design thinking could work with large amount of data that comes with the project • The tool encourages students as it can be made more aesthetically beautiful to give it more creative aspect • Mind mapping can also be used as a great source of secondary data to also be used further for better idea generation • It helps students to be engaged throughout the process , add information as they found more • It is also a reliable tool to always come back to and refer to , if at all the idea taken forward was not effective As an educator facing the problem of not having students understand or analyse the data in a proper way for better idea generation I think mind mapping was the best way I could use for students which was easier , creative and also had enormous data that could be analysed for patterns that could define the problem of stubble burning and their effects on the families of the farmers and the environment very effectively and also helps students to form better ideas to solve the problem at the local level . Approach : As I was successfully able to use my map in one of the project in my class I would be modifying the use of the tool in various other ways in my class . For example I can make sure that the mind map is more colourful and creative . This will help students stay engaged and will be interested to add information to the mind map . I can also use the mind map in different stages of design thinking for example primary research or secondary research . Mind maps can also be used as a better form of persuasive communication not only for students but people trying to understand the project as well . I will be using the tool for normal classes to understand students insight , understanding of a topic which will help me understand patterns in student engagement , understanding and application of the topic . Visualisation and mind mapping can go hand - in - hand as with better data and patterns that are analysed through mind map students will be able to visualise the problem with a personal connect to it which will lead them to better idea generation .

Design Thinking for Business Innovation Mind Mapping Reflection Challenge I am a new employee in a training and consultation company , one of my new project I had to handle is to improve the services offered by our company to the targeted customers by holding a focus group of about 12 people from the target industry – people were mainly decision makers and people that can actually make the effect , some were managers and others were in engineering or Human resources . This is done to know their needs and problems and custom made the services offered by us based on their wants and problems . The challenge was how to implement the focus group on the targeted people and get insights from observations to help them help us . Selection After going through several meetings with my team and taking the design thinking course , the mind mapping tool was the best approach for us to handle the focus group in addition to handling the cluster of ideas and differentiate what is good from the outliers , and it is a tool that can be implemented to identify the insights and translate them into a criteria can be executed in our company . Application After we decided to hold the focus group and arranged all the logistics , we prepared an online invitation letter with a brochure about the focus group session , this was done to make them understand exactly what are the goals and purposes of the session and have time to think and review the problems and most critical needs they face . At the focus group session we arranged several activities before the mind mapping tool to assure the commitment and the involvement of each individual , we applied the projective technique , the pinwheel activity with the matrix to pinpoint the main need and problems . Afterwards we clustered in teams of three- from different backgrounds to get more insights- and asked them to pick the most crucial and hard to solve problems based on their needs and necessities . After 20 minutes each team had a presenter with the main ideas of problems and what actually works and what not . We have equipped the hall with a board and each team of the four teams had identified their ideas on the board ( the good and the less suitable ) for everyone to see and think about . By the end of the session we had different ideas , some really good and the others were not helpful at that time but we placed them in our data for later reconsideration . We have identified some observations which is the main result for our focus group and thus the mind mapping tool used was effective . Insight This tool made it easier for us to collect that huge amount of data collected from a wide scope of people and arrange it in a way observations and insights are made to help us improve the quality and type of services offered by our company . The data collected were not at all what we expected , we had different views and opinions and some hidden and deep thoughts were open for us to explore and provide a tailor made solutions for them . The mind mapping tool made it possible for us and our customers to transfer the tedious and longsome process of data collection into a fun and interactive activity . Approach There were a lot of ideas and a lot of new perspectives to think about . Our focus group session encountered 12 people and all contributed in a quantitative and qualitative ideas , but for next sessions the focus group held should not contain more than 8 people of 4 teams of 2 , firstly , for us for the different and varied themes we have , we need all data on all of the themes in a time limit of 290 minutes and secondly to get clearer insights from the observations . Design thinking with the Mind mapping tool and all of its projective techniques made is easier for us to solve our problems innovatively .

Challenge : Visualization is a greatest tool for problem solving . Our mind is the greatest visualizer . Whatever we think , mind creates a picture first . I am working in the field of engineering research and development . Problem solving and providing solutions is our daily job . As researchers we are expected to innovation every time , we start a work . My team was given a task to provide some innovative solutions which can delight customer . But I got stuck as to where from start . I had doubts as what kind of innovation would delight customer . I had no idea where to start . My perception was rather focusing on the outcome of innovation rather than focusing what I had and starting up from there . I used the approach of design thinking and innovation and visualization tool to come for solutions and I got very interesting solutions . Selection and Application : Before selecting the visualization tool , I started with identifying the opportunities . And I took the approach to be customer empathetic . I investigated some customer interaction data and found out that the pain point of customer was to visit the service center to rectify the defects in our products . Because of some product defects they were rather not focused on new features , they wanted a product which can work without any failure . That would give more value . Now this was bad for us as a company as well as we had to pay for warranty claims and customer was losing confidence . Now I knew where I had to focus . Rather that inventing something new I had to rectify current problems to gain customer confidence . So , I started with what is . I started collecting warranty data and analyzing them . Now there was lot of data . This is where used visualization for first time . I pictured in my mind set of critical categories of defects where many issues can be put in . I called in team and on board drew my table showing different categories of defects and each basket filled he individual problems . Now using visualization , we were clear that we had to focus on those categories . If we solve a category , then all problems in that category will be solved . The second visualization came in . Now on the board we could see the categories and we could easily identify which category was post priority and which was least . Now I moved to second stage , What if . I called in a brainstorming session . We knew which category defect we had to solve first . Now the brainstorming started with all team members discussing about possible solutions . Now again Visualization came to play . Each team member showed his idea on the board using block diagrams . At the end of session , we had 8 block diagrams on the board . We can see all of them same time , analyze them and even compare them . And now the interesting thing happened , we picked blocks from different solutions which were good and created a new solution block diagram , which was complete new and solved the customers problems . We listed down our risks and assumptions as well . So , we had our solution right on the board . So , we did what wows as well . Now we had to test our solution . Here comes what works part . Here we used visualization extensively . We created diagrams and computer Aided models of our solutions to see how our solution looks like . We showed it to various teams who will be involved right from design to prototyping to marketing to customer care and took their feedbacks . We did continuous improvements in our visual models until we got our solution really refined . Now we were finally ready for physical experiment to make a demo of solution . So , by using visualization , by making a soft model of our solution , we focused on failing early to succeed sooner . The physical demo was made , again we took feedback and improved . But we did n’t require any major improvement , as using visualization we had already refined our solution . And finally , our solution came to production . Customer was happier . We increased our quality and saved many costs in warranty claims . Insight and Approach Using Design thinking method , my perspective broadened . My mindset changed . I was ready to take calculated risks . As I knew that was way to innovate . And best tool for all this which can make all steps of design thinking more easier , understandable , and structured was Visualization . Visualization need not to be any complex diagram or an art painting . Just simple things like making a simple block diagram on board can make the ideas which emerge in our mind more structured , and we can think in a very broad manned . If we use visualization , we can see the bigger picture . So next time when I ’ll be doing innovation , I know that I have the tool and I know the steps I need to follow . I have the path which leads to innovation ready . And I need not to be Albert Einstein to be an innovator .

Example Reflection – Visualization Challenge & Selection The first tool I used was Visualization to identify and define the problem that we had to tackle in the contest in which we were participating with my colleagues from the university . The topic to be discussed was informal trade . We use the straw man visualization technique with a series of questions or proposals to discuss among the members of the group and in this way learn from each other and identify improvements or solutions . Application The contest was held at the time of the pandemic , so the meetings had to be virtual , so we had to use programs like Miro to be able to interact together . We start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain . To develop the Straw man graphic , we used the information we had collected on the subject , such as statistics on informal trade , history of the steps taken by municipalities to solve the problem , interviews with informal merchants . In the Straw man I included a column to define the direct and indirect actors , each member represents an area of interest and in the Miro a graph was placed for each member . In the Miro they could place pictures and answer the following questions 1 ) What points are missing from the graph ? 2 ) What would you add to the graph ? 3 ) What knowledge do you have about the subject ? 4 ) How do you think the mentioned actors are involved ? Each member has 25 minutes to answer these questions . Once the work is completed , each member explains their answers , the answers are recorded together and then a group discussion is created to see what is added or removed from the Straw man graphic . Insight & Approach What you learned from doing this activity is that it helps us understand each participant 's point of view and you can see different perspectives on the same topic or problem addressed . However , even though there are many points of view , an agreement can be reached and the problem to be faced can be defined . It also helps to develop a much more effusive discussion in which everyone participates and in which everyone can share their knowledge . It really is a very good method of identifying the problem .

Challenge & Selection : As a leader of a marketing team , the tool that stood out to me during this course was Storytelling . In marketing , my job is to communicate our brand ’s story and make sure that we are connecting to our customers on a deeper , emotional level . However , I had never really thought of it from an innovation point of view . I love connecting with people and Storytelling is an excellent way to do this that can lead to great innovation . The challenge that my company faced is that we wanted to make our brand bigger than ourselves . We recognized a need in our community and were very passionate about finding a way to do something about it . The need we wanted to address was the issue of homelessness in our community . Rather than looking at it as a problem of “ How should our brand help solve the issue of homelessness ? ” , our challenge was “ How can we create a cause around helping the homeless in our city ? ” . We are a tea company that has a lot of hot tea at our disposal and we are a small company with less than 20 employees and very little capital resources . Chicago is freezing in the winter and there are thousands of people who struggle to survive on the freezing streets of Chicago each winter . How can our tea company create a cause that addresses this issue ? This is the challenge that I ’ve chosen to focus on because the Storytelling tool can be such an integral part of this challenge to help see the emotional connection and larger purpose . Application : I started first and foremost by knowing my audience . My team is a group of extremely passionate , energetic and young individuals . Our co - founders are childhood best friends who , at the time , were in their late 20 ’s . Our company culture is one that does n’t require formal presentations or a lot of hard data . They value doing the right thing and challenging the status quo when needed . For these reasons , I knew that my storytelling did n’t need to begin with a lot of data on homelessness or our financials . My story needed to connect with them on an emotional level and draw on their passion for helping others . To do this , I drew on simple facts on the number of those struggling with homelessness in Chicago , the average temperatures in Chicago during the winter ( January is the coldest month on average ) and the number of fellow Chicagoans that do n’t survive the winter . That was the little bit of data that they needed . From there , I was able to bridge the issue and ideas with storytelling . After positioning the issue of homelessness in winter as the main character / antagonist of the story , I used a clear sequence of events to communicate my story . I further outlined the current situation by illustrating the need for change by interviewing those who were currently experiencing homelessness and sharing their true stories with the team . Sharing their names , their situations and their most pressing needs and wishes . I also shared my own personal experience volunteering with those in these situations , again bringing to life personal stories and antidotes . This was to show them the severity of the situation and the opportunity that existed . Sharing these experiences through storytelling was extremely effective because it caught their attention and gave them a visual that brought the challenge to life . To get everyone excited to take this on , I then outlined the resources that we had available : relationships with other companies in Chicago , social service agencies like soup kitchens and shelters , our team , a lot of hot tea , customers , investors , etc . There was a lot of opportunity for fellowship and to involve stakeholders and our community . Next I highlighted the challenges that we were up against : little capital resources , the police had told me it could be dangerous if we wanted to help these areas , there is a large population that needs help . These are all challenges that contributed to the tension to start the ideas and conversation flowing around the main challenge : How do we create a cause ? Because our co- founders are extremely passionate and love to take on a challenge , this was extremely effective to get the juices and ideas flowing . In the end , we created a cause called Spread the Warmth that went beyond a simple solution that could have been to donate or serve tea at homeless shelters to one that created an entire event and night focused on giving back . It involved hundreds of volunteers , donations , tea , warmth kits and touches the lives of people across our entire city . It has become a cause that has grown over the years and will celebrate the 5th annual Spread the Warmth event in 2020 . Insight & Approach : This experience showed me exactly how captivating storytelling can be and how much more buy - in you get from senior leadership and team members when you use storytelling . Not only did I receive their immediate buy - in to help with the cause , they became very passionate about finding a solution and inviting others to help solve the problem . Storytelling took the pressure off of me to come up with the perfect solution and instead led to a much better and well- rounded solution that included everyone ’s ideas . It also made our solution easier to tweak and refine as we continued . Because more people had gotten behind the cause , they were passionate about improving it and giving and collecting feedback along the way . Each year continues to have a greater and greater impact on our community because there are so many people passionate about the cause . While we may not be able to solve the problem of homelessness for all of Chicago , we have a cause that is contributing to help and is raising the awareness of the issue on an even larger scale than we could have imagined . Reflecting on using the Storytelling tool , I ’ve learned a lot and would choose to use this approach again in this situation and in many other situations . However , if I were to take a do it again , I would incorporate more stakeholders in the original Storytelling session and process rather than just the two final decision - makers ( co - founders ) . Because I would eventually need so many other ’s stakeholders to understand and help create the cause , I would have involved those stakeholders such as other teammates into the process sooner . I initially only involved senior management and then ended up having to repeat the same process for a couple different groups of those involved in creating the solution . If I were to do it again , I would have had everyone together at the beginning so that all initial ideas and conversation would have been done together . This could have saved time in reaching certain solutions . It also could have created even more ideas and solutions because more people would have heard each other ’s remarks , questions , concerns , etc .

In the end , we created a cause called Spread the Warmth that went beyond a simple solution that could have been to donate or serve tea at homeless shelters to one that created an entire event and night focused on giving back . It involved hundreds of volunteers , donations , tea , warmth kits and touches the lives of people across our entire city . It has become a cause that has grown over the years and will celebrate the 5th annual Spread the Warmth event in 2020 . Insight & Approach : This experience showed me exactly how captivating storytelling can be and how much more buy - in you get from senior leadership and team members when you use storytelling . Not only did I receive their immediate buy - in to help with the cause , they became very passionate about finding a solution and inviting others to help solve the problem . Storytelling took the pressure off of me to come up with the perfect solution and instead led to a much better and well- rounded solution that included everyone ’s ideas . It also made our solution easier to tweak and refine as we continued . Because more people had gotten behind the cause , they were passionate about improving it and giving and collecting feedback along the way . Each year continues to have a greater and greater impact on our community because there are so many people passionate about the cause . While we may not be able to solve the problem of homelessness for all of Chicago , we have a cause that is contributing to help and is raising the awareness of the issue on an even larger scale than we could have imagined . Reflecting on using the Storytelling tool , I ’ve learned a lot and would choose to use this approach again in this situation and in many other situations . However , if I were to take a do it again , I would incorporate more stakeholders in the original Storytelling session and process rather than just the two final decision - makers ( co - founders ) . Because I would eventually need so many other ’s stakeholders to understand and help create the cause , I would have involved those stakeholders such as other teammates into the process sooner . I initially only involved senior management and then ended up having to repeat the same process for a couple different groups of those involved in creating the solution . If I were to do it again , I would have had everyone together at the beginning so that all initial ideas and conversation would have been done together . This could have saved time in reaching certain solutions . It also could have created even more ideas and solutions because more people would have heard each other ’s remarks , questions , concerns , etc . ### Output:

Reflections Learning Launch ( Module 4 ) Challenge I lead a team of performance marketers in our organization , and our organization is present in 10 countries across Southeast Asia . Our scope involves media plan , improving workflow , being on top of ad tech and platforms , executing and optimizing campaigns to deliver client ’s goal . The challenge is how to execute more experiments properly in order gain more learnings and scale that would benefit both client and us . The idea is for us to create an experiment framework to push out regionally . Selection Our team has gone through identifying the opportunities and need , to brainstorming a concept so we are on to the next stage of learning launch . This will help us test different ideas , gain learnings and insights and shape the experiment framework . Application We categorized experiments into four , and focused on the most cost effective , least constraints and valuable category as it ’s the heart of the company , which is data category . We nominated accounts , and shortlisted to three accounts , based on assumptions , budget , timeline and value to client . We had scheduled meetings between different departments , from data analyst , account management , and performance marketers get everyone ’s input and practice the discipline of incorporating experiment process in all departments as it ’s something beyond performance department . For the first account of our learning launch , we had debates and discussions on the structure , which hypothesis should be prioritized , how we ’ll execute and determine the success metrics which took four meetings to finish and got the result in a week . The result of the experiment was inconclusive , it was neither a success nor a failure . It did give us some insight , therefore we proceeded with retesting it with a few changes on the variables compared to previous . We noticed we got more synergy , and the team as able to work faster , but still had meaningful discussions . Hence , we also tried the framework on the other two accounts we shortlisted . Insight The learning launch tool gave our team a more structured approach . The first discussions we felt lost , as each had different opinions and expertise , but we were able to design “ launches ” or our initial experiment framework . The results of our launches were a mix of success and failures , as it was more about the learning and then proceeding with the next step , whether it was to continue , eliminate or adjust . We are still in the initial stages to determine the right framework , but it has given more clarity on the direction of our data experiments and improved the collaboration between departments . Approach The learning launch tool is proven to move the needle in pointing us to the right direction of our data framework . We will continue using this tool at this stage as it has given us immediate insights and progress . We tested this for our data experiments approach , and will be using this as well for other categories to gain more learnings , which will help the campaign performance , scale and , hence help our clients .

Reflection - Mind Mapping Challenge It was the aftermath of the housing bubble in 2008 when many homeowners owed more on their mortgages than their home ’s market value , mortgage defaults were rampant , and Realtors were starved for work as traditional real estate transactions dried up . My challenge as an entrepreneur was to create a viable business that is beneficial to the homeowners , mortgage lenders , and Realtors in distress . Selection At the time , I was not aware of the design thinking approach . My engineering background led me to choose mind mapping to help me visually think through the problem , make connections , and create ideas . Application After speaking to various stakeholders , I mind mapped the then current reality : 1 ) Homeowners ca n’t afford their mortgage payments and ca n’t sell their home because selling their home ca n’t cover the mortgage their owed . They wanted a feasible way out to avoid foreclosure . 2 ) Mortgage lenders were understaffed in their loss mitigation departments and did not have the processes and systems in place to handle the surging volume of short sale requests . They wanted to process as many short sales as possible to avoid the costs associated with foreclosing . 3 ) Realtors did not possess the skill set to negotiate short sales , so the bulk of their clients ended up in foreclosure despite tons of extra work . They wanted to close short sales so they can continue to make a living from commissions . 4 ) Homebuyers losing out on the home they wanted after months of waiting to foreclosure . They wanted to settle the transaction quickly and move into their new home . Insight : The insights gained from mind mapping was that : 1 ) Homeowners were not aware that short sale is a viable option to avoid foreclosure , 2 ) Mortgage lenders were not educating Realtors on how to pre - qualified short sales and only send in complete and viable files , 3 ) Realtors assumed that they needed to negotiate short sales themselves because distressed homeowners ca n’t afford to pay out of pocket , and 4 ) Home buyers were not equipped to decipher the odds of success of a particular short sale . When I challenged the assumption that distressed homeowners need a good , fast , and cheap solution -- I realized that good and fast are absolute musts to avoid foreclosure , whereas cheap is only a relative term to the consequences of foreclosure . I.e. cheap did NOT mean $ 0 out of pocket as assumed . In fact , the $ 0 assumed constraint is costing all stakeholders dearly -- homeowners got foreclosed , lenders incurred costs to foreclose , Realtors made no commission when their listing is foreclosed , and homebuyers wasted months waiting to buy a home that ended up in foreclosure . Based on the insights , we created a loss mitigation company that focused on : 1 ) educating homeowners about the short sale option , 2 ) accepted only pre - screened short sale listings that were straight forward enough to obtain mortgage lender approval fast , and 3 ) took over short sale negotiation work from Realtors and charged homeowners and homebuyers a fee for loss mitigation work that is due only when the deal closes . Our premium pricing strategy was designed as a win - win - win - win solution for all stakeholders , despite appearing counter - intuitive in a distressed market . We were able to deliver a 90 - day cycle time with an 80 % success rate , trouncing peer group average of 365 - day and 20 % . We received raving testimonials from homeowners , home buyers , and Realtors , enjoyed dramatic revenue growth and profitability , and led the local market in the first one year of operations . Approach The next time , I would go several steps deeper with a service blueprint to gain additional insights along the journey for all key stakeholders . I think doing so will help refine the service process and deliver an even better experience for all involved .

Reflection – Storytelling Challenge & Selection Storytelling is a great tool that I use all the time . I work with vulnerable populations , developmentally disabled individuals , senior citizens , and economically disadvantaged people . Many of these people deal with oppression and dysfunction in every aspect of their lives , they need to be empowered and inspiration is a path to empowerment . I spend a lot of time “ opening people up ” and finding ways to inspire them to improve their circumstances . When I work with seniors , we share stories for different reasons . Often they 're lonely and are so happy to share stories of their lives with me to connect and they find meaning in sharing these experiences as a form of teaching and/or legacy , in a sense . With my developmentally disabled clients I share stories of my life in order to help them visualize a state of independence , I use their feedback against the context of my story to ascertain their goals , and sometimes we use stories to better understand their interests and thought processes . I use this information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them to gain more independence in the areas they find lacking in their lives . Application I have a story about using storytelling . In discussing policy changes with a social service agency , I was trying to explain to them the benefits of taking a more client focused approach , among other things , and in particular , of recognizing each person as a unique being , and addressing their individual needs first and foremost . The agency was in the grip of a “ compliance culture ” and its clients were failing in this non - empathetic , rigid structure . I was also explaining how sometimes addressing the needs of one individual can impact everyone for the better , even if it seems extreme or out of the ordinary . I told a story about when I ran an emergency shelter after a natural disaster . Everyone was doing really well except for one woman whose stress was making her very emotionally volatile . I could tell she needed attention ; in my mind I decided she would be “ Princess for an hour . ” I made her a cup of coffee and sat down with her and let her talk . It turned out that her mother , who was with her , had survived a brain aneurysm and she was terrified that she would fall or that some other crisis would befall her during this disaster while in the shelter . Insight & Approach Well , wow , that was an eye - opener . Her mother was a calm presence and doing very well . Clearly it was time for me to open up with my story . I told her how scary it was when my father had his brain aneurysm in front of me and how I had to get him to the hospital and how difficult and scary that all was . I shared how he recovered well , and then tied us together , by noting how she and I both have parents who survived brain aneurysms . This worked really well . She really needed individual attention for that brief time , and she ended up with that and a true support . She calmed down , her mother , who had become worried about her , calmed down , and everyone around them calmed down . Peace reigned again in our little shelter . So I told this story to the agency , and I think it had a big impact on people there . The policies are being reevaluated and the caseworkers are going through new training . Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good . This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . When I 've done it before it was really " ad hoc , " but now I can prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them . I have a design background , but I ended up as an entrepreneur in business . I had no idea this would ever be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is !

Example Reflection – Learning Launch Challenge : I am working in influencer marketing agency as a Business Development ( Sales ) intern . This agency has started a new e - commerce platform where we sell product through social media influencers . We have to acquire new sellers who ’ll be selling their products on our e - commerce platform . Everything is completed the website , technology , legal formalities etc . we just have to on - board new sellers so that we would be having a wide range of products to display on our website . Key concern is that our platform is new and sellers are hesitant about it because of this we ’re unable to get the sellers . Also we have keep the prices competitive do that customers will get attracted . We ’ve to launch our website as soon as possible . Selection : We have identified some techniques through which we can get more sellers in less time frame . We have to experiment this technique . As we ’ve to do the experiment quickly and also with the limited financial resources Learning Launch is a great tool to this efficiently . Application : First we started looking for sellers who are running their businesses on small scale , whose products are good but needs advertising . We chose to go with local sellers with high quality product rather than going for well established brands . We extensively searched all the nearby cities to get the quality products at low price . We also approached many individual artists who were making creative things . We gave some extra percentage of commission to the sellers who 'll be listing more products on our e - commerce platform . Insight : As we started looking for local sellers we got different variety of quality products , in large quantities , also at much lower price than other brands . These products are of really good quality . By searching locally it reduced our cost on exploration also we managed to get a higher margin . We also included many creative handmade things that resulted in increased number of orders . Approach : One thing which we needed to do is adding some well known brands to our list . So that it builds trust between customers . Also from next time onwards we ’re planning to emphasize more on the online marketing than totally relying on influencers . We ’re also planning our own marking strategy to reduce the cost which we have to pay to the influencers .

This agency has started a new e - commerce platform where we sell product through social media influencers . We have to acquire new sellers who ’ll be selling their products on our e - commerce platform . Everything is completed the website , technology , legal formalities etc . we just have to on - board new sellers so that we would be having a wide range of products to display on our website . Key concern is that our platform is new and sellers are hesitant about it because of this we ’re unable to get the sellers . Also we have keep the prices competitive do that customers will get attracted . We ’ve to launch our website as soon as possible . Selection : We have identified some techniques through which we can get more sellers in less time frame . We have to experiment this technique . As we ’ve to do the experiment quickly and also with the limited financial resources Learning Launch is a great tool to this efficiently . Application : First we started looking for sellers who are running their businesses on small scale , whose products are good but needs advertising . We chose to go with local sellers with high quality product rather than going for well established brands . We extensively searched all the nearby cities to get the quality products at low price . We also approached many individual artists who were making creative things . We gave some extra percentage of commission to the sellers who 'll be listing more products on our e - commerce platform . Insight : As we started looking for local sellers we got different variety of quality products , in large quantities , also at much lower price than other brands . These products are of really good quality . By searching locally it reduced our cost on exploration also we managed to get a higher margin . We also included many creative handmade things that resulted in increased number of orders . Approach : One thing which we needed to do is adding some well known brands to our list . So that it builds trust between customers . Also from next time onwards we ’re planning to emphasize more on the online marketing than totally relying on influencers . We ’re also planning our own marking strategy to reduce the cost which we have to pay to the influencers . ### Output:

Reflection – Learning Launch Challenge A college friend and I were brainstorming ideas for T - shirt logos . An idea we came up with was to design logos that took , what we thought was , a humorous take on campus Greek Organizations . As my friend and I are both in agriculture related fields our ideas related to the Greek alphabet and farm animals . We came up with several ” Greek ” logos that included Kappa Cow Pi , Sigma Pigma Pi , Lambda Lamb , Gamma Goat , and Delta Dog . Each logo would have traditional Greek letters , however the animal was represented by a silhouette of the respective animals head . Below each logo were captions fitting the logo and the college theme . For instance , under the Lambda Lamb symbol where the words “ Ewe U. ” The Delta Dog logo ’s caption was “ Bite U. ” Of course , “ U. ” is short for University . While my friend and I thought the idea was great , we wondered would the T - shirts sell . Would the general public lay down their money to buy our product . Could the T - shirts generate interest , word - of - mouth , and profitability . We needed to test our hypothesis that the T - shirts would be a hit . Selection My friend and I had already used the design thinking visualization tool to draw our designs on paper . It was time to test our hypothesis by using the learning launch tool . The tool is used to perform a quick experiment to either confirm or disconfirm a hypothesis using the facts and data gathered from customers during the experiment . Application We decided to do a quick marketing test using only one of our “ Greek ” T - shirt logos to see if customers liked our product . Testing with only one logo allowed us to invest a small amount of capital to perform the quick test . The World Dairy Expo is an event where people from around the world come to see the world ’s best cows , products , and merchandise surrounding the dairy industry . What better place to test out our Kappa Cow Pi logo with the caption underneath reading “ Udder U. ” My friend and I set up a booth at the World Dairy Expo where we displayed , and sold , our Kappa Cow Pi logo T - shirts . We also had brochures to handout that included all of our “ Greek ” logo designs , and our contact information . We were there for one week . Insight The customer data that we received using the learning launch tool to do a quick experiment was very valuable . We learned that other people also found our ‘ Greek ” logo humorous , and were willing to spend their money to purchase our T - shirts . In the one week at the World Dairy Expo we were able to cover our expenses and make a profit . The brochures were a benefit as well . Customers who saw our additional logos expressed interest in how to purchase the T- shirts with the various designs . To sum it up , our hypothesis that the T - shirts would be a hit was confirmed . Approach Having confirmed our hypothesis , it was decided to perform another learning launch . This time , we advertised our five “ Greek ” logo designs in one agriculture merchandise magazine . The small experiment was to confirm or disconfirm if our T - shirt logos would sell to a broader range than just the specific customers we targeted at the World Dairy Expo with our Kappa Cow Pi design . We learned that utilizing the learning launch tool a second time was the smart thing to do . While we did not lose our ” shirts ” in the catalog experiment , neither did we turn a large profit . My friend and I decided to end our side business . We learned a lot and had a lot of fun along the way . As I stated at the beginning , we are both in agricultural related fields and will use design thinking many times in the future . Salvador Cabrera
